In September 2009, a series of unmanned aerial vehicle flights collected basic atmospheric data over the Terra Nova Bay polynya in Antarctica. Temperature, wind, pressure, relative humidity, radiation, skin temperature, GPS, and operational aircraft data were collected and quality controlled for scientific use. The data has been submitted to the United States Antarctic Program Data Coordination Center (USAP-DCC) for free access.
