This field campaign took place at the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) use facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory, located near Lamont, Oklahoma. The ArcticShark uncrewed aerial system conducted 10 research flights, accumulating 40.7 flight hours over the SGP site. Each flight originated from the Blackwell-Tonkawa Airport (BKN) and followed a “racetrack” pattern around the SGP field site. During these flights, mission scientists initiated vertical profiling based on the real-time performance of the aerosol instruments aboard the ArcticShark. Figure 1 below illustrates the flight paths of all missions.
