Short summary

During the Pallas Cloud Experiment (PaCE) in northern Finland from September 15 to 28, 2022, detailed measurements of the atmospheric boundary layer, aerosols, and cloud droplets were collected using the Max Planck CloudKite platform, WinDarts, and a ground station. Observations covered altitudes from ground level up to 1.5 km above ground level. This paper presents the dataset, describes the data collection process and structure, and provides guidance for users.
