A map illustrating flight locations, along with floe maps illustrating the location of UAS operations relative to other MOSAiC assets during legs 3 and 4. The operating area map (top) shows the MOSAiC drift track, broken down by leg, along with the launch locations of the two platforms for all flights. The floe maps (bottom) are derived from helicopter-based airborne laser scanner data (L. von Albedyll and S. Hendricks, pers. comm.) of the sea ice collected on April 23, 2020 (left) and June 30, 2020 (right). The UAS sites are labeled as “Droneville”, and a circle illustrating the approximate size of a DataHawk2 orbit is included around each location. Also shown are the locations of key sensors for comparisons conducted in this manuscript, including the ASFS, radiosondes, and the met tower.
