Drones for Science: Long Range Fixed Wing UAVs New Tool in Understanding Climate Change
Weather researchers are discovering the value of using drones for science. In a project designed to help understand current climate issues used the BOREAL fixed-wing UAV equipped with specialized sensors to gather data from areas around Barbados. The EUREC4A project (Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate), co-directed by the Max Planck Institute for … [Read more...] about Drones for Science: Long Range Fixed Wing UAVs New Tool in Understanding Climate Change
Wildfire Meteorology: Drones Provide a Better, Cheaper Way to Understand Fire Risk
Drones becoming a useful tool in wildfire meteorology, the effort to understand weather that leads to fire risk. By DRONELIFE Staff Writer Jim Magill As wildfires continue to rage across vast swaths of the western United States, researchers are developing the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to understand the weather systems that lead to the fires’ ignition and … [Read more...] about Wildfire Meteorology: Drones Provide a Better, Cheaper Way to Understand Fire Risk
