A total of 70 profile measurements of thermal-infrared (TIR) radiation were obtained with the Broadband Radiation Package (BP) during balloon ascents with theBalloon-bornE moduLar Utility for profilinG the lower Atmosphere (BELUGA). The dataset includes measurements from three balloon campaigns: between29 June-27 July 2020at the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition; between24 September-12 November 2021 in Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard); and between24 March-12 May 2022 in Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard). The dataset includes downward irradiance (F d ), upward irradiance (F u ), and net irradiance (F net = F d - F u ) gridded to a 1 m vertical axis.
