Abstract:
During the MOSAiC Airborne observations in the Central Arctic (MOSAiC-ACA) campaign in August / September 2020 a downward-looking commercial digital camera equipped was installed on the aircraft Polar 5. Images of the Arctic surface and clouds were taken every 4 - 6 seconds. The data set provides rectified fields of calibrated radiances along the flight track for the three spectral bands (red, green, and blue).
