Abstract
An infrared imager was used to detect high temperature regions produced by incandescent soot particles in an around the flaming combustion region of crown fires climbing a forested slope in Alaska. From the data, sequences of high-frequency, high resolution two-dimensional imagery of temperature were produced. Image flow analysis applied to this imagery yielded wind fields, fire spread rates, and vertical sensible heat fluxes.
