How Representative Are Uncrewed Aircraft System Measurements of the Convective Boundary Layer? by Brian R. Greene, Leia M. Otterstatter, Scott T. Salesky

“…Using large eddy simulations (LES) of the daytime convective boundary layer (CBL), we quantify random errors in UAS measurements that occur due to insufficient statistical convergence of the time average to the true ensemble mean. Random errors in first‐order moments increase as the CBL becomes increasingly unstable, and are largest near the surface for most quantities. …”
