    Description: Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) fill a gap in high-resolution observations of meteorological parameters on small scales in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Especially in the remote polar areas, there is a strong need for such detailed observations with different research foci. In this study, three systems are presented which have been adapted to the particular needs for operating in harsh polar environments: The fixed-wing aircraft M 2 AV with a mass of 6 kg, the quadrocopter ALICE with a mass of 19 kg, and the fixed-wing aircraft ALADINA with a mass of almost 25 kg. For all three systems, their particular modifications for polar operations are documented, in particular the insulation and heating requirements for low temperatures. Each system has completed meteorological observations under challenging conditions, including take-off and landing on the ice surface, low temperatures (down to −28 ∘ C), icing, and, for the quadrocopter, under the impact of the rotor downwash. The influence on the measured parameters is addressed here in the form of numerical simulations and spectral data analysis. Furthermore, results from several case studies are discussed: With the M 2 AV, low-level flights above leads in Antarctic sea ice were performed to study the impact of areas of open water within ice surfaces on the ABL, and a comparison with simulations was performed. ALICE was used to study the small-scale structure and short-term variability of the ABL during a cruise of RV Polarstern to the 79 ∘ N glacier in Greenland. With ALADINA, aerosol measurements of different size classes were performed in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, in highly complex terrain. In particular, very small, freshly formed particles are difficult to monitor and require the active control of temperature inside the instruments. The main aim of the article is to demonstrate the potential of UAS for ABL studies in polar environments, and to provide practical advice for future research activities with similar systems.

    Description: The helicopter borne probe HELiPOD was deployed during the MOSAiC expedition on Leg 3 and 4 from the research vessel Polarstern to investigate the ocean-ice-atmosphere exchange. During five flights, a variety of parameters were measured and calculated, concerning atmospheric dynamics (pressure, temperature, humidity, wind vector), aerosol particles (number concentrations in different size classes, absorption coefficients for three different wavelengths), trace gas concentrations (carbon dioxide, methane, ozone), radiation (solar and terrestrial, upward and downward), surface properties (temperature, images) as well as flight state parameters (position, altitude, attitude). All data were re-sampled at 100 Hz to the same time grid, if not indicated differently. The probe enabled the spatial extension of MOSAiC observations in a range of 25 – 60 km distance to Polarstern. After dedicated postprocessing of the complex data set, two out of the five flights, which were performed on 22 July 2020, and with a flight duration of around 1 h per flight, are initially uploaded to the PANGAEA data base. A technical overview of the HELiPOD is given in Pätzold et al. (2023).

    Description: Aerosol particles are considered to be one of the main contributors in affecting the feedback mechanisms of the Arctic Amplification. However, to which extent is far away from quantification and this is partly related to a sparse knowledge of the spatial distribution of aerosols, in particular of the vertical distribution in the atmospheric boundary layer. The data set provides measurements of aerosol particle number concentration (for different size classes, above 3 nm, above 12 nm, and in the ranges of 300-500 nm, 500-700 nm and ~700-900 nm) as well as the meteorological parameters of air temperature, air pressure and humidity based on the unmanned research aircraft ALADINA (Application of Light-weight Aircraft for Detecting IN-situ Aerosol) that was used for a field application in Ny-Ålesund, Spitsbergen. Between 24 April and 25 May 2018, 49 measurement flights were performed that consist of vertical profiles (in sum 230) with a total maximum altitude of 850 m above mean sea level (AMSL) above land and horizontal legs (around 300) that were operated at different heights crossing the coast, as well as above open water in order to study a potential impact of different surface properties on the aerosol distribution. Information to studies/references: Preliminary results of the data contributed to the studies of Lampert et al. (2020), Petäjä et al. (2020) and Xavier et al. (2022) and will be presented in an overview study soon.
