The mobility virtual environment (MoVE): an open source framework for gathering and visualizing atmospheric observations using multiple vehicle-based sensors
Gathering sensor data from multiple vehicles into a single cohesive data set is challenging! The Mobility Virtual Environment (MoVE) helps collect data from multiple mobile vehicles using telemetry with a common timestamp and coordinate frame.

Observations of coastal dynamics during lake breeze at a shoreline impacted by high ozone
Understanding the role of lake breeze in vertical ozone profiles using unmanned aerial systems at a shoreline location. Vertical profiles show gradients in ozone with higher ozone in areas of steep temperature inversion.
Paper
Development of a microsampler suitable for aerial collection of aerosol particles
A microsampler for collecting aerosol particles on an unmanned aerial system (UAS) was designed and evaluated in the laboratory for dry (no condensed water) and wet (foggy, misty, or rainy) air conditions.
Paper
Sensing atmospheric flows in aquatic environments using a multirotor small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS)
Multirotor sUAS wind sensing capabilities are effective for resolving onshore and offshore atmospheric flow variations in aquatic environments where airborne hazardous agents threaten downwind communities.
Paper
Drone-based particle monitoring above two harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the USA
Little is known about the transport and fate of aerosolized particles associated with harmful algal blooms (HABs).
Paper
An automated size and time-resolved aerosol collector platform integrated with environmental sensors to study the vertical profile of aerosols
Vertical gradient of size-resolved aerosol composition reveals various atmospheric processing at different altitudes.
