<abstract>
<p>Aerosol, cloud droplet, and meteorological measurements were carried out by the Finnish Meteorological Institute&apos;s payload onboard the tethered balloon systems during the Pallas Cloud Experiment 2022 in Finland. This dataset includes 21 flights between September 16th and October 10th. The observations include vertical profiles and time series of aerosol number concentration and size distribution; cloud droplet number concentration and size distribution; and meteorological parameters. This dataset has been uploaded to the common Zenodo PaCE 2022 community archive (&lt;a href=&quot;https://zenodo.org/communities/pace2022/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;https://zenodo.org/communities/pace2022/&lt;/a&gt;, last access: Jan 20, 2025). This dataset (Le et al., 2026) is available at: &lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18432043&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18432043&lt;/a&gt;.</p>
