Abstract
This paper provides an overview of recently conducted experiments in which atmospheric boundary layer turbulence was measured by unmanned aerial vehicles. These experiments were conducted as part of a larger, multi-university measurement campaign. Results from profiling flights, used to characterize the atmospheric boundary layer characteristics are presented. Relative statistics are then presented, measured at different times during the boundary layer transition from stably stratified to convective conditions. The turbulence statistics are found to agree with the expected general behavior, but have the advantage of being less dependent on Taylor's frozen flow hypothesis hypothesis to translate time-dependent information to spatial information.
