Drone Aerosol Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/648.001

Summary
This dataset contains processed airborne aerosol measurements collected by
Alphasense OPC-N3 low-cost sensors mounted on DJI M-600 drones during the
BioAerosols and Convective Storms (BACS) field campaigns. Flights occurred
surrounding cold pool passage and other meteorological events to examine
changes in aerosol vertical profiles. See the readme for more information.
