Vertical air temperature profiles at Villum Research Station, 2023

This dataset contains vertical air temperature profiles measured by Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with iMet-XQ2 sensors during summer 2023. The profiles were collected at Villum Research Station (VRS), Northeast Greenland. For details, see [LINK TO PAPER] 1. Data Structure The dataset is organized into date-specific folders, corresponding to the day of data collection. uav_profiles/ ├── 20230727/ │ ├── 20230727-X-Y_SURFACE.csv │ └── ... ├── 20230728/ │ ├── 20230728-X-Y_SURFACE.csv │ └── ... └── ... 2. File Naming Each CSV file in this dataset follows a consistent naming convention: YYYYMMDD-X-Y_SURFACE_TYPE.csv Where: YYYYMMDD: The date when the profile was collected (e.g., 20230801 for August 1, 2023). X: Refers to the iMet-XQ2 device ID used for collecting this specific profile. This identifies which of the XQ2 sensors was used. Y: Refers to the profile number recorded by that specific iMet-XQ2 device on that day. SURFACE_TYPE: Indicates the surface type over which the profile was taken (tundra, ice, lake, sea). 3. Column Descriptions Each CSV file contains the following columns and their respective units: Column Name Units Description ALT_ag meters (m) Altitude above ground level AT degrees C Air Temperature TIME UTC Time of measurement in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM LON decimal degrees Longitude LAT decimal degrees Latitude ALT meters (m) Altitude above sea level 4.
