Data sets

ATOMIC CU-RAAVEN UAS: Lower-atmospheric meteorological and surface properties from the CU-RAAVEN unmanned aircraft system (UAS) over the Tropical Atlantic Ocean, near Barbados: Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign 2020-01-24 to 2020-02-16 (NCEI Accession 0225373) Gijs de Boer, Steven Borenstein, Radiance Calmer, Michael Rhodes, Christopher Choate, Jonathan Hamilton, Brian Argrow, and Janet Intrieri https://doi.org/10.25921/jhnd-8e58

Short summary

This article provides a summary of the collection of atmospheric data over the near-coastal zone upwind of Barbados during the ATOMIC and EUREC⁴A field campaigns. These data were collected to improve our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the lower atmosphere in the tropical trade-wind regime over the Atlantic Ocean and the influence of that portion of the atmosphere on the development and maintenance of clouds.
