ARCSIX LaRC G-III Dropsonde Data

ARCSIX_Dropsondes_LaRC-G3_Data is the dropsonde data collected onboard the LaRC G-III aircraft during the Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface Interaction EXperiment (ARCSIX) campaign. Data from the Airborne Vertical Atmosphere Profiling System (AVAPS) is featured in this collection. Data collection for this product is complete. The ARCSIX campaign is a NASA field investigation aimed at quantifying the contributions of surface properties, clouds, aerosol particles, and precipitation to the Arctic summer surface radiation budget and sea ice melt during the early melt season. Based out of Greenland, ARCSIX completed two deployments from May – June 2024 and July - August 2024 utilizing the NASA P-3B, LaRC G-III, and SPEC-Learjet aircraft. The P-3B was equipped with in situ and remote sensing payloads to acquire measurements of aerosols, cloud, and radiation properties. The high-flying LaRC G-III was equipped with remote sensing instrumentation, including the HALO, a
