This paper presents a comparison of three model-based algorithms to estimate the wind
vector from quadrotor motion, based on increasingly refined models. The three vehicle …

In this study, a fleet of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is presented as a system
to measure the spatial distribution of atmospheric boundary layer flow. The big advantage of …

Wind velocity (strength and direction) is an important parameter for unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV)-based environmental monitoring tasks. A novel wind velocity estimation method is …

The capabilities of a quadcopter in the hover mode for low-altitude sensing of atmospheric
turbulence with high spatial resolution in urban areas characterized by complex orography …

This article proposes a method of measuring wind speed using the data logged by the
autopilot of a quadrotor drone. Theoretical equations from works on quadrotor control are …

In city-wide weather prediction, wind gust information can be obtained using unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs). Although wind sensors are available, an algorithm-based active …

Meteorologists require reliable methods of obtaining high-quality atmospheric data, such as
