Description
This dataset contains ten vertical atmospheric profiles collected in Upstate New York (Fort Drum) using a Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) during the April 2024 solar eclipse. The data includes static air pressure, static air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and data pertaining to the UAS. Acquired by a NASA LaRC Alta-X UAS under the FireSense project, these high-resolution observations of atmospheric state variables are critical for analyzing transport and mixing processes. This dataset offers key insights into how atmospheric structure evolves in response to the eclipse. The measurements were made between the surface and approximately 3.5 km Mean Sea Level (MSL). The data are provided in the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT) format.
