1 Data Set for Fire and Smoke Model Development and Evaluation-- RxCDRE Roger Ottmar Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Laboratory Pacific Northwest Research Station Seattle, W

2 RxCDRE History Core Fire Science ad hoc group identified the need for an integrated, quality-assured fuels, fire, and atmospheric field data set for development and evaluation of fire models Tested capacity to collaboratively measure fire, Eglin FB (FL) and Joseph Jones Ecological Research Center (G) Larger effort--eglin FB 2012 Funded by JFSP for 2012 field campaign/reduce and analyze data 2008, 2011, 2012

3 Target udience for Data cquisition Fire Scientists Fire & Smoke Modelers With secondary emphasis: Fire & Fuel Planners Fire-use Practitioners Fire Ecologists Firefighters Smoke regulators dd a usage map from Google here from Paige

4 RxCDRE Project Objectives Provide a quality integrated fine scale and operationalscale data set for testing and evaluation of fire behavior and other fire models using data collected from 2008, 2011 & 2012 field research campaigns Provide testing grounds for innovative methodologies and instrumentation

5 Milestones Selected a noted scientist to represent each of 6 disciplines 90 scientists and technicians, 20 gencies, Universities, and Contractors One of the largest collaborative fire research efforts sked key fire behavior modelers: What needs to be collected and how? Field campaign completed November 2012 Developed a data management plan and repository for data exchange and distribution for 2008, 2011, and 2012 campaigns

6 2012 RxCDRE Field Campaign Location Jackson Guard, Eglin ir Force Base, Florida New Center for Excellence Receptive to research Cooperation Coordination Logistical support Burn 114,000 acres per year Burn year around Burn shortly after rain

7 Logistics and Ignition 90 scientists and technicians represented 15 gencies, Universities & and Contractors 3 briefings each morning Different objectives and requirements Ignition times Hot and cold missions Weather Equipment Discovery Channel--Canada
