TRACER UAS CU RAAVEN Flight Data

Abstract

This dataset includes observations collected using the University of Colorado RAAVEN small Uncrewed Aircraft System (sUAS) during the TRACER Intensive Operations Period. These observations include flights conducted at two primary locations, including an area near the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge and the University of Houston Coastal Center. Flights were conducted for approximately two weeks per month between June and the end of September, and include two primary flight modes. The first mode is a spiraling profile between the surface and 600 m above ground level, and the second mode includes flight conducted in a series of stepped altitudes between 600 and 20 m above ground level.
