| Summary: | This data publication contains California State University-Mobile Atmospheric Profiling System (CSU-MAPS) doppler wind LiDAR/microwave temperature/relative humidity profiling radiometer data collected during the 2012 Prescribed Fire Combustion and Atmospheric Dynamics Research Experiment (RxCADRE). LiDAR data include line-of-sight component of velocity and aerosol backscatter. Microwave profiler data include continuous temperature and humidity values from the surface to 10 kilometers above ground level (AGL) with 50 meter vertical resolution. Data were measured at the Eglin Air Force Base, northeast of Valparaiso, Florida in Okaloosa County.<br>The RxCADRE project was developed as a response to a lack of integrated, quality-assured fuels, atmospheric, fire behavior, energy, smoke and effects data, a problem which hinders scientists ability to evaluate fire models and tackle fundamental fire science questions. The goal of the project was to allowing leading fire scientists to come together and collect fire data on the same prescribed burns and to create quality fire and fuels data that can be shared between scientists and placed in a public database so it can be accessed by anyone.<br>A short summary of the RxCADRE project can be found in the full data publication download (\Supplements\RxCADRE_Project_Overview.pdf).
