Ignitions for the Eglin research prescribed burns were completed with terra torches attached to the back of ATVs. This dataset is part of the Wildland Fire Science Initiative (WFSI) research burn campaign held at Eglin AFB from March 11th 2023 to March 19th 2023. In addition, pre- and post-fire data collection occurred before and after these dates. See the most recent version of the contextual dataset “Eglin Air Force Base 2023: Contextual data for Wildland Fire Science Initiative (WFSI) Research Burn Campaign” for more information about the campaign (see Annotations section for has Metadata link). ignition trackingData Types and Measurement Variablesprescribed firelongleaf pineFire behaviorNoneEglin Air Force Base 2023WFSI Research Burn Campaign This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Video Settings: Standard, Highest quality, Hyperview, 1x speed/low light. 3. Satellite Systems: GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO (this is standard for Go Pro 11, you don't have to set this). 4. Time format: 12 Hour 5. Time Zone: Automatically set after you set date and time manually, or automatically when you connect to the internet. 6. Position format: Decimal degrees. Garmin eTrex 10's Calibration/Settings: 1. Time Zone: Zulu, but will also record local time. 2. Satellite systems: GPS/GLONASS a. Optionally, in the settings turn on WAAS/EGNOS for more accurate GPS position information. 3. Record interval: Most often. 4. Time format: 12 hour. 5. Distance and speed: Statute. 6. Elevation: Feet/minute. 7. Position format: Decimal degrees. 8. Map datum: WGS 84. 9. Map spheroid: WGS 84. QA/QC: The Go Pro GPS data was extracted into a CSV file and converted into a Shapefile in the ArcGIS Pro workspace. The Garmin GPS data was extracted into a GPX file and also converted into a Shapefile in the ArcGIS Pro workspace. With the two shapefiles, my notes from each days burn, the Go Pro ignition videos, and the burn plans provided by the ignition boss, I was able to confirm the accuracy of the tracking data. I also clipped the tracking data using the videos and my knowledge of the burn units and surrounding areas. Known issues/Limitations: It is important to understand the these shapefiles only identify where the igniters travelled, and that each point location in a shapefile does represent where fire was put on the ground, only the path travelled when fire was put on the ground. The above goes for the ignition tracking on the ground(the ATV terra torch). The ATV terra torch ignitions paths are accurate, but again, where exactly each ATV igniter placed fire on the ground is not known at this moment. I do know the ignition pattern and the spacing between when fire was put on the ground by each ATV igniter. For example, the Eglin G25 west burn unit, the ignition boss's plan for that unit was igniting in 20 foot long dashes (i.e. 20 feet of continuous fire on the ground) separated by approximately 100 feet without fire. I have field data for each and all fires for further details, which I can provide by request. Conversion of coordinate systems: 1. I used ArcGIS Pro version3.3.1 to upload the raw tracking data, edit the data (e.g. remove points where no ignitions occurred) and convert to NAD83 UTM 16N. 2. I then used QGIS version 3.28.13-Firenze to export the tracking data into a .csv file format. James Furman USDA FS james.h.furman@usda.gov Principal Investigator U. S.
