Overview
Meteorological Drones
Weather drones can be more efficient than traditional methods of meteorological data collection such as weather balloons. Meteorological drones are more manoeuvrable, can resist sudden changes in wind better and are thus better equipped to capture data in vertical columns, which is essential for weather forecasting.
Meteorological drones can also be used to take measurements close to buildings and structures, and in urban environments as well as in harsh offshore environments. In addition to forecasting, weather drones may also be used for storm and hurricane tracking and prediction, long-term data gathering for climate change research, and a wide range of other applications.
