Wind disturbance presents a formidable challenge to the flight performance of multi-rotor
small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs). This paper presents a comprehensive review of …

Weather phenomena including wind, rain, fog, storms, etc. have large influence on road
transport by reducing the speed and capacity by 5–40% in moderate cases and up to 100 …

Compared to conventional wind field measurement methods such as wind masts or wind
towers, UAV-based measurement is a relatively new approach to making wind field …

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 …

Concentrations of airborne chemical and biological agents from a hazardous release are not
spread uniformly. Instead, there are regions of higher concentration, in part due to local …

Weather observations from commercial aircraft constitute an essential component of the
global observing system and have been shown to be the most valuable observation source …

As centralized wind power construction approaches saturation, the demand for
decentralized wind power in cities, enterprises, and village is gradually increasing. Unlike …

New wind sensing technologies are needed to measure atmospheric flows in aquatic
environments where hazardous agents may be present and conventional atmospheric …

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 …

A reduction of the anthropogenic emissions of CO 2 (carbon dioxide) is necessary to stop or
slow down man-made climate change. To verify mitigation strategies, a global monitoring …
