RAAVEN UAS Data

Flight level meteorological and aircraft state data from the University of Colorado RAAVEN (Robust Autonomous Aerial Vehicle - Endurant and Nimble) sUAS (small Unmanned Aircraft System) platform that flew during the TORUS 2019 (Targeted Observations using Radars and UAS in Supercells 2019) campaign over the plains region of the United States. The UAS flew near inflow, right flank, and left flank missions in and around supercell thunderstorms.
