Table 1 List of atmospheric parameters measured or calculated from UAV, balloon, and radar data (resolution of the profiles are given in meters)

From: Vertical structure of the lower troposphere derived from MU radar, unmanned aerial vehicle, and balloon measurements during ShUREX 2015

	UAV	Balloon	MU radar
PTU	(~ 2)	(~ 2–3)
N ²	20, 150 ^a	20, 150
M ²	20	20	20
V		20, 150	150
S		20, 150	150
Ri = N²/S²		20, 150	150 ^a

^aThe Richardson number was obtained from the wind shear measured by the MU radar and N² estimated from UAV data at a vertical resolution of 150 m
