Abstract
This data publication contains airborne wind and eddy covariance data files, that were recorded with the ASK-16, a motorized glider owned by the FU Berlin, Germany. These data files include a large range of meteorological variables (wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity, etc.), positioning information, but also information on atmospheric chemistry (mainly methane concentration, carbon dioxide concentration, water vapor concentration) and turbulent matter (CH4 and CO2) and energy fluxes (latent heat flux) is available. Measurements were recorded between 2017 and 2022 to:
(1) obtain three-dimensional wind vectors in within the atmospheric boundary layer
(2) calibrate of wind measurements
(3) record turbulent energy and matter fluxes
A lot of these data files have been used in the publication “The ASK-16 Motorized Glider: An Airborne Eddy Covariance Platform to measure Turbulence, Energy and Matter Fluxes (to be published in atmospheric measurement techniques)” by Wiekenkamp et al., 2024a. This publication also provides a lot of additional details on the measurement system, the data handling and processing.
