The Transition and Spread of a Chaparral Crown Fire: Insights from Laboratory Scale Wind Tunnel Experiments

Figure 5

Surface fire heat release rate in nonwind-driven fires (a), wind-driven fires (c), and the box and whisker plot with average heat release rate for all experiments (b). For the box plot, the cross represents the mean, the horizontal bar represents the median, the bottom of the box represents the 25th percentile, the top of the box represents the 75th percentile, the bottom of the whisker is the minimum data point, and the top of the whisker is the maximum data point.
