Abstract
Meteorological and wind observations made by sensors on the MetSprite Uncrewed Airborne System (UAS) operated by Menapia for the Wessex convection (WesCon) experiment Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST) project.
This version 2.1 dataset contains air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind, geographic location and platform information for 31 days of flying during the intensive measurement campaign from June to August 2023.

- var_id: metsensor_flags_2
- long_name: Metsensor Flags. Records which sub-sensors were present and used in the final variable calculation. Characters P, T, H refer to pressure, temperature, humidity, and B, S, P1 and P1 are individual sensors within a metsensor. A flag of B-S--P1--P2-- means no data was present or passed quality control.
