field fire experiments in Vauda Nature Reserve, Italy

Description

The dataset include observations of surface head fire rate of spread (ROS) measured during field fire experiments in heathland fuels (mixed grass-shrub) carried out on flat terrain under differing fire weather conditions (Ascoli et al. 2009). For each ROS values of Rothermel's fire behavior fuel models parameters and environmental conditions are provided. Some ranges in the dataset are: ROS <- 0.9 - 26.3 m/min; wind speed <- 0.4 - 7.9 km/h; 1h fuels moisture: 10 - 27 percent.
