1Hz resolution aircraft measurements of wind and temperature during the ACLOUD campaign in 2017

During the ACLOUD (Arctic Cloud Observations Using airborne measurements during polar Day) campaign conducted in May/June 2017 meteorological data (temperature, horizontal wind components, air pressure) have been measured using instrumentation that was installed at the nosebooms of both aircraft Polar 5 and Polar 6. This dataset presents the 1Hz resolution data. The high temporal resolution data (at 100 Hz) with all wind components are available here: doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.900880). For each flight the data are given as functions of time and position (including height above ground) along the flight tracks. Listed in this repository are all flights beginning with the test flight in Bremen and the Ferryflights to Longyearbyen. All other measurement flights started and ended in Longyearbyen. Each file represents an entire flight starting well before the first movement of the plane and ending after the final parking position has been reached after landing. The wind measurement is only valid during flight and the full accuracy is only achieved during straight level flight sections. The absolute accuracy of the wind components is 0.2m/s for straight and level flights sections. For further informations on the data processing and accuracy of the turbulence measurement refer to Hartmann et al. (2018, doi:10.5194/amt-11-4567-2018). For further information on the ACLOUD campaign we refer to Wendisch et al. (2018, doi:10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0072.1). -- All data are given as decimal values at 1Hz in columns in this order and meaning: UTC - UTC-time in seconds (since midnight) h - height in metres based on WGS84 lon - longitude in degress based on WS84 lat - latitude in degress based on WS84 p - static pressure in hpa gs - ground speed in m/s pitch - pitch angle in degrees roll - roll angle in degrees rh - relative humidity from Vaisala at noseboom T - temperature from PT100, corrected for adiabatic heating u - west-east component of wind speed in m/s, positive towards east v - south-north component of wind speed in m/s, positive towards north tas - true air speed in m/s

Collection of data sets for the Clouds over cOMPlEX environment - EarthCARE (COMPEX-EC) campaign, carried out in Kiruna in spring 2025

This data collection unites the individual data sets of the COMPEX-EC (Clouds over cOMPlEX environment - EarthCARE) campaign, carried out in Kiruna 2.-16.4.2025. COMPEX-EC has been designed as an EarthCARE validation campaign. For that purpose, Polar 5 (C-GAWI) has been equipped with instrumentation similar to the one operated on EarthCARE (W-band radar, lidar, radiometers, spectral imagers). Seven research flights (summing up to more than 30 flight hours) were conducted each of them underflying the EarthCARE satellite to validate its performance.

Collection of data sets for the MOSAiC Airborne observations in the Central Arctic (MOSAiC-ACA) campaign, carried out in late summer 2020 northwest of Svalbard

This data set unites the individual data of the MOSAiC Airborne observations in the Central Arctic (MOSAiC-ACA) campaign, carried out in late summer 2020 northwest of Svalbard (Norway). The objective of MOSAiC-ACA was to study turbulent fluxes of energy and momentum in the Arctic boundary layer and low- and mid-level mixed-phase clouds and their role in Arctic amplification in the exit area of the research vessel Polarstern during the MOSAiC expedition. The research aircraft Polar 5 was equipped with active and passive remote sensing instruments, measurements for turbulent and radiative energy fluxes, insitu probes for cloud and aerosol particles, and dropsondes. In total, 10 research flights with 44 flight hours over the open ocean and the marginal sea ice zone have been performed between 30 August and 13 September 2020.

High resolution aircraft measurements of wind and temperature during the ACLOUD campaign in 2017

During the ACLOUD (Arctic Cloud Observations Using airborne measurements during polar Day) campaign conducted in May/June 2017 meteorological data (temperature, 3 wind components, air pressure) have been measured in high temporal resolution (100 Hz) using instrumentation that was installed at the nosebooms of both aircraft Polar 5 and Polar 6. For each flight the data are given as functions of time and position (including height above ground) along the flight tracks. All flights started and ended in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Each file represents an entire flight starting well before the first movement of the plane and ending after the final parking position has been reached after landing. The wind measurement is only valid during flight and the full accuracy is only achieved during straight level flight sections. The absolute accuracy of the wind components is 0.2m/s for straight and level flights sections and the relative accuracy of the vertical wind speed is about 0.05m/s for straight and level flight sections. For these sections, which can be obtained on the basis of the given roll and pitch angles of the aircraft, the 100 Hz data can be used to derive turbulent fluxes of momentum and sensible heat. For further informations on the data processing and accuracy of the turbulence measurement refer to Hartmann et al. (2018, doi:10.5194/amt-11-4567-2018). For further information on the ACLOUD campaign we refer to Wendisch et al.

ARK 2018: AWI airborne ultra-wideband microwave radar data at and upstream of 79°N Glacier, northeast Greenland Ice Sheet (RESURV 79 Project)

This dataset contains airborne radar data acquired using the AWI ultra-wideband microwave radar (UWBM) during the Arctic season of 2018. The profiles extend across the Greenland Ice Sheet over and upstream of 79°N Glacier (Nioghalvfjerdsbræ; northeast Greenland). Furthermore, one flight extends over sea ice northeast of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The data are available as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams. For every profile we provide four radar products (img_01, img_02, img_03, img_04), which correspond to the four polarizations (VV, VH, HH, HV).

Master tracks in different resolutions during POLAR 5 campaign P5-256_COMPEX-EC_2025

Raw data acquired by GPS1 position sensors on board research aircraft Polar 5 during the campaign P5-256_COMPEX-EC_2025 were processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. Novatel FlexPak6 GPS receiver was used as navigation sensors during the campaign. Data were downloaded from AWI Datamanagement System (https://dms.awi.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. Processed data are provided as a master track with 1 sec resolution and a generalized track with a reduced set of the most significant positions of the master track. A detailed report on processing is also available for each flight.
