Data Supporting Mobile Wind Measurements Using a Joust Configured Ultrasonic Anemometer Onboard a Multi-rotor sUAS
December 10, 2024
These data were collected to investigate how well wind speed and direction can be measured using a miniature sonic anemometer mounted in a joust configuration on a small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS). Test flights occurred at a bog within Interior Alaska that was instrumented with an eddy covariance flux tower. Part of the tower's instrumentation was a highly accurate sonic anemometer which was used represented the real, or target, wind speed and direction. Because the sUAS and tower instruments are not co-located (as the sUAS is constantly moving) a concurrent experiment examined the amount of error due to this separation.

Arctic Biogeochemical Response to Permafrost Thaw (ABRUPT)
Warming and thawing of permafrost soils in the Arctic is expected to become widespread over the coming decades. Permafrost thaw changes ecosystem structure and function, affects resource availability for wildlife and society, and decreases ground stability which affects human infrastructure. Since permafrost soils contain about half of the global soil carbon (C) pool, the magnitude of C losses...
