Considerations on UAS-based In-situ Weather Sensing in Winter Precipitation Environments

This dataset supports the article submitted to MDPI-Sensors: Advanced UAV-Based Sensor Technologies: 2nd Edition. The data was collected on APR/14/2023 at Marshall Field (CO), 1627 m above sea level; and in Oklahoma at the Mesonet calibration laboratory and its Washington station. It presents weather data from ground-based sensors and an  Unmanned Aerial Weather Measurement System (WxUAS).
