| Summary: | Data are available for download at: https://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2RV0D21Z/ This dataset consists of multispectral imagery data products produced from HELiX uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) flights that were conducted over or near sea ice during the MOSAiC expedition. These data were produced from raw multispectral imagery acquired by the Helix’s gimbal-mounted RedEdge-MX camera. Additional data from the Helix UAS’ other sensors, which consist of hemispheric irradiance measurements from two Kipp and Zonen pyranometers and thermodynamic parameters from two Vaisala RSS421 sensors can be found in Radiance Calmer, Gijs de Boer, Jonathan Hamilton, Dale Lawrence, Steve Borenstein, et al. 2021. HELiX Uncrewed Aircraft System data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate campaign, A1 level data. Arctic Data Center. doi:10.18739/A2M90243X (A1 data) or Radiance Calmer, Gijs de Boer, Jonathan Hamilton, Dale Lawrence, Steve Borenstein, et al. 2021. HELiX Uncrewed Aircraft System data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Campaign. Arctic Data Center. doi:10.18739/A2GH9BB0Q (B1 data). Three main flight types were conducted with the Helix: a grid pattern, hover, and profile. Pix4D was used to produce five (one for each channel of the camera) orthomosaics, reflectance maps, and colorized index maps for all flight types. A video of the images taken during the flight, including an image scale, UTC time, and altitude overlay was produced for each profile flight. More information on the data and methods can be found in de Boer, G. R. Calmer, G. Jozef, J. Cassano, J. Hamilton, D. Lawrence, S. Borenstein, A. Doddi, C. Cox, J. Schmale, A. Preußer and B. Argrow (2021): Observing the Central Arctic Atmosphere and Surface with University of Colorado Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, Nature Scientific Data, in prep.
