Data from the Max Planck WinDarts and Ground Weather Station during the Pallas Cloud Experiment 2022

This dataset was collected during the Pallas Cloud Experiment (PaCE) between September 13 and September 28, 2022. It includes measurements of key meteorological variables such as temperature, relative humidity, and pressure, as well as CO₂, volatile organic compounds (VOC), particle concentration (0.3–40 µm), and three-dimensional wind velocity. Geolocation data is also provided.

WinDart measurements were taken in the mixed layer, entrainment zone, and free atmosphere, reaching altitudes of up to 1,550 m, including in-cloud conditions. These observations offer valuable insights into planetary boundary layer dynamics under varying atmospheric conditions.

Measurements were obtained using self-built WinDarts, HeliKites, and a ground-based weather station. This dataset corresponds to Level 1 data, meaning that raw measurements have undergone calibration and log timing corrections, but no further adjustments—such as corrections for platform motion—have been applied. This dataset provides files in NetCDF format.
