摘要: Time-resolved irradiance and convective heating cooling of fast-response thermopile sensors were measured in 13 natural prescribed wildland fires under a variety fuel ambient conditions. It was shown that sensor exposed to the fire environment subject rapid fluctuations transfer whereas by windowed much less variable intime, increasing nearly monotonically with approach flamefrontandlargelydecliningwithitspassage.Irradiancebeneathtwocrownfirespeakedat200and300kWm � 2 ,peak associated surface fuels reached 100kWm peak for three instances burning shrub 132kWm .
