Cold environment supports a large diversity of local climates. Among them, urban climates in
northern cities stand out for their pronounced warm temperature anomaly known as the …

It is widely accepted that the atmospheric boundary layer is drastically under-sampled in the
vertical dimension. In recent years, the commercial availability of ground-based remote …

Measurements of the vertical structure of the lower atmosphere are important to the
understanding of air quality. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs, drones) can provide low …

Quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) are responsible for approximately a quarter of all
tornado events in the United States, but no field campaigns have focused specifically on …

Instruments such as Doppler lidars, radar wind profilers, and uncrewed aircraft systems
could be used in observation networks to fill in the temporal and spatial gap that exists for …

Small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) are regularly being used to conduct atmospheric
research and are starting to be used as a data source for informing weather models through …

Experimental field campaigns are an essential part of atmospheric research, as well as of
