FREMONT, CA: Drones are contributing to a good range of applications, from vacuuming up ocean waste to delivering pizza. the increase of drones is additionally replacing many of the


damaging also as high paying jobs. Various industries are leveraging drone services for operational purposes. as an example , the increased usage of drones has led the researchers towards developing specialized unmanned aircraft vehicles which will gather weather data. consistent with ProPhotoUAV, such a capability would enable scientists to form weather predictions with the help of realtime data. Meanwhile, the constant improvement in drone technology will directly impact the reliability of drone-based weather predictions. Currently, meteorologists are using radar, satellites, mobile measurements, and weather balloons to surround storms and capture the maximum amount data as possible. However, there's a niche in current data generation methods which will be filled by the drones. Drones will allow scientists to receive risk-free data that would not be procured in the


other way. as an example , when there's a requirement to fly into the center of a storm, it might be much safer, efficient also as affordable to send a strong drone instead of an aircraft with a person's operator inside. Apart from aerial meteorology , oceanic researchers are leveraging sea drones to assist forecast weather and understand the changing weather across the world . Equipment like Saildrones is getting used for the above purpose. Saildrones are often equipped with various sorts of sensors so as to collect and transmit real-time measurements, including wind, humidity, temperature, radiation , and weather patterns. Such data are then getting used for meteorology also as research purposes. Such a capability will enable the meteorologists to know and study various factors that impact weather . The advancements in drone technology will


further enhance the accuracy of the weather forecasts and enable the meteorologists with research and analysis.
