Short summary
This paper provides datasets collected as part of the Pallas Cloud Experiment campaign in northern Finland during autumn of 2022. We provide an overview of a custom-built drone backpack for air quality and atmospheric state variable measurements carried on top of a consumer-grade drone (DJI Mavic 2 Pro). Moreover, we describe the flight strategies and provide an overview of the datasets obtained, including a description of the measurements against a reference for data validation.
