Airborne weather profiler network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network comprising:
- a mobile sensing node including a profiler, the profiler to sense a profile of an atmospheric property; and
a modeling node including a processor, the processor in communication with the profiler to receive data from the profiler regarding the sensed profile, the processor being adapted to determine a model of the weather from the sensed profile.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods for remotely sensing meteorological conditions and for building models from the sensed conditions. More particularly, networks and systems are provided for gathering remotely sensed profiles of the meteorological conditions and for building the meteorological model. The networks and systems can also predict the weather. Also, various remote profilers are provided including LIDAR, RADAR, nano-sondes, microwave, and even GPS (Global Positioning System) related instruments.
