Atmospheric sounding of the boundary layer over alpine glaciers using fixed-wing UAVs

Additional code and data for the paper by Groos et al. entitled "Atmospheric sounding of the boundary layer over alpine glaciers using fixed-wing UAVs" Correspondence: Alexander R. Groos ([e-mail]) The repository contains:(1) The log files (meteorological data and flight recorder data) for each UAV-based atmospheric sounding from all four campaigns(2) The postprocessed and reformatted data for each sounding and vertical profile from all four campaigns(3) The commented R-Scripts for data processing, analysis and visualisation(4) A subset of the meteorological data from the nearby weather stations Description of sub-folders: -aws_data-- aws_fisistock.txt # meteorological data from AWS Fisistock for the period of the campaign-- aws_gandegg.txt # meteorological data from AWS Gandegg for the period of the campaign-- aws_sackhorn.txt # meteorological data from AWS Sackhorn for the period of the campaign - logfiles/2021-* [06/07/08/09]-- fr_kanderfirn_2021-06-16_1044-1051.LOG # flight recorder data from the sounding at about 10:50 CEST on 16 June 2021 (binary file)-- .-- .-- .-- pprz_kanderfirn_2021-06-16_1044-1051.LOG # meteorological data from the sounding at about 10:50 CEST on 16 June 2021 (human readable text file)-- .-- .-- . - processed_data/2021-* [06/07/08/09]-- fr_kanderfirn_2021-06-16_1044-1051_profiles.tab # formatted flight recorder data from the two descents of the sounding at about 10:50 CEST on 16 June 2021-- pprz_kanderfirn_2021-06-16_1044-1051.tab # formatted meteorological data from the sounding at about 10:50 CEST on 16 June 2021-- pprz_kanderfirn_2021-06-16_1044-1051_profiles.tab # formatted and time-lag-corrected meteorological data from the two descents of the sounding at about 10:50 CEST on 16 June 2021-- .-- .-- .- sbi_gradients_all_campaigns.csv # a csv table with the top height of detected surface based inversions and UAV-based and environmental lapse rates for each sounding from all four campaigns - R_scripts-- amt_figure_6_processing_examples.R # R script to create Figure 6-- amt_figure_7_time_series.R # R script to create Figure 7-- amt_figure_8_averaged_profiles.R # R script to create Figure 8-- amt_figure_9_lapse_rate_&_SBI.R # R script to create Figure 9-- amt_figure_10_synthesis_2021-06-16.R # R script to create Figure 10-- amt_figure_11_&_12_tair_&_sh_heat_maps.R # R script to create Figures 11 & 12-- amt_figure_13_turbulence_heat_map.R # R script to create Figure 13-- amt_figure_B1_sink_rate.R # R script to create Figure B1-- amt_figure_C1_lapse_rate_method.R # R script to create Figure C1-- amt_figure_D1_synthesis_2021-08-26.R # R script to create Figure D1-- amt_lapse_rates.R # R script for SBI detection and lapse rate calculation
