Methane drone flights over a cattle farm in Tjøtta, Norway

This dataset includes observations of atmospheric methane concentrations at a cattle farm in Norway.

The data was collected by using a DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone equipped with an Aeries MIRA Strato LDS methane sensor.

The files contain the raw data from the methane sensor with an additional column, 'OSD.height [m]', for the estimated height of the drone relative to its home location next to the barn. The height data comes from the drone and is resampled (linear interpolation) to the datetimes of the methane sensor. The datetimes are in UTC.

The data was collected on 11.08.2023 and 12.08.2023 in Tjøtta, Norway. The cattle farm is located at 65.902044 N, 12.541739 E.
