Abstract
In-situ airborne observations collected during flight 312 on 07 February 2019 by the Meteorological Airborne Science Instrumentation (MASIN) on board the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Twin-otter aircraft for the ORCHESTRA - Ocean Regulation of Climate by Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports project. This dataset contains the core meteorological data from the MASIN instrument suite.
Data were collected over the Falkland Islands area.
