January 15, 2014 the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), the United States Forest Service (USFS), Texas Forest Service
(TFS), Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP), and other public and private
organizations for three research burns on Camp Swift Military Base. The
burns were conducted at Camp Swift Military Instillation which is a 4
718 hectares (11 659 acres) Texas Army National Guard Training Site
located in Bastrop County in Central Texas. Burn plots were located on
the southeast most side of the military facility in a fire unit referred
to as the “Drop Zone”. The Drop Zone burn unit is 80.9 hectares (200
acres) and is managed for military operations such as personnel drops;
therefore, the fire frequency and disturbance regime is higher in this
unit than comparable grassland burn units at Camp Swift. The fire
management regime in the Drop Zone is largely driven by requirements
needed to maintain a safe and sustainable military training environment.
Over a 2.5 hour time period three research burns, as portrayed in this
dataset, were intentionally lit to support the validation of fire
behavior models. Specifically, the effort was guided by validation needs
of WFDS. The weather conditions were also chosen for this purpose,
while staying within conditions that allowed for a safe prescribed
burn.The fire practitioners timed the burns to coincide with similar
weather parameters of relative humidity, temperature, wind speed and
direction during the research burn periods. Minimum and maximum weather
parameters for this ignition were as follows: wind directions: North,
Northwest or SouthwestWind Speed: 9.7-24km/hr (6-15 mph)Relative
Humidity: 20-25%Temperature: 1.6-29°C (35-85°F)The ignition procedure
was designed to ensure, as much as possible from the ground, given the
lack of homogeneity in the vegetation type and spatial distribution,
that the initial fire established itself as a continuous fire line. The
winds were chosen to have a higher enough speed to promote a continuous
fireline. These are conditions important for WFDS validation.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style='display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;'><span style='display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;'><span style='display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;'>Access
