Hail-Swath and Cold-Pool Observations with CU RAAVEN UAS

Aerial footage and state parameters from hail swath survey flights conducted by the University of Colorado Boulder RAAVEN (Robust Autonomous Airborne Vehicle - Endurant and Nimble) uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) as it was deployed in and around hailstorms during the 2025 In-situ Collaborative Experiment for Collection of Hail In the Plains (ICECHIP) field campaign. The state parameters include position, temperature, relative humidity, static pressure and winds. There were front-facing and downward-facing cameras on the aircraft. There is also ground-level footage from a tracker vehicle.
