Three Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Used in Weather Forecasting



UAV used in Weather Monitoring

The UAV applications in weather monitoring are increasing and in the future, many places on the Earth is slowly becoming inaccessible to human being due to climate change and its impacts like wildfire, flood, etc. This video shows the three most used UAVs in weather monitoring and forecasting.

Airmar’s 150WX WeatherStation

 UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has selected this UAV for monitoring and gathering weather information with the help of its 150WX WeatherStation Instrument. This instrument can measure wind speed, air temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity data for a long duration.

Hobby king Bixler 2.0 + Weather Monitoring Sensors

A Hobbyking Bixler 2.0 plane fitted with multiple sensors which can measure humidity, temperature, and CO levels. A wireless camera is mounted in the aircraft for providing visual inputs to the user. Various pollutants can also be recognized and identified. This new project had modified an existing unmanned vehicle into a sophisticated weather monitoring station at much less cost compared to other available UAVs.



New Drones of OSU

Oklahoma State University is developing new drones to gather information from more parts of the Earth’s atmosphere. This will help forecasters to predict the weather after one hour also. Their drones are utilized to gather climatic information from more parts of the troposphere to identify the exact correlations that exist between the causal parameters of weather patterns.

Five open source free hydrologic models that you can use to model runoff of micro to macro watersheds

The principal objective of hydrologic models is to forecast the runoff of a surface water body, especially dendritic systems like rivers, streams, etc. The inputs to these models are generally Rainfall/Precipitation, Soil Characteristics, and other Climatic parameters like evapotranspiration, humidity, etc. LULC and geo-morphology are also used as the required input parameters of the hydrologic models. Both input and output of these models are temporally as well as spatially variable. Now the resolution varies with different models. Some models consider all the sub-basins to be a single watershed and determine the output based on the characteristics of this single watershed(lumped).In contrast, some other models will consider the {impact|effect} of each of the sub-basins on the central outflow of the watershed(distributed).In a few models, the entire watershed is divided into grids or units of uniform dimension. However, the accuracy is highest for the models, which considers the {impa...

Five new patents that has the capbility to change the future of water resource development

A complex web of extreme events, such as devastating floods in some areas and severe water scarcity in others, are increasingly characterizing the global water crisis. This situation is made worse by the sneaky contamination of water sources with "forever chemicals" that do not decompose in the environment. A complex issue necessitating immediate action to guarantee access to clean, safe water for all populations is created by this pollution and the considerable water loss that occurs during delivery to customers as a result of aging infrastructure. Climate change is causing an increase in extreme events like floods and droughts, leading to unpredictable water availability. Water scarcity is also increasing, especially in areas with high population density and agricultural demands. Persistent organic pollutants like PFAS are contaminating water supplies, posing health risks due to their non-biodegradability. Inefficient infrastructure and leaky pipes contribute to significant...
