Abstract
The present disclosure describes structures, methods, and functionality for measuring a wind profile with networked anemometers. One method includes receiving real-time wind measurement data from each of one or more anemometer sensor platforms (ASPs) in a network, receiving atmospheric data, and calculating, using the received real-time wind measurement data and the received atmospheric data, at least one of real-time wind measurements, a wind profile, an average wind speed, or a weapon aiming offset.

21. A mobile, wind-measurement anemometer sensor platform (ASP), comprising:
-
an anemometer module containing an anemometer adapted to measure wind components in real time and to produce real-time wind measurements; a network module configured to engage with the anemometer module and containing a network interface adapted to transmit the produced real-time wind measurements over a network; a mobile support stand configured to engage with the network module and further configured to rest on a support surface; and a rechargeable power pack. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A wind-measuring method, comprising:
-
deploying a plurality of mobile, wind-measurement anemometer sensor platforms (ASP)s; generating an ASP network with the plurality of ASPs for ASP-to-ASP communication; seeking a connection with a base station over a network using the ASP network; requesting a base station configuration and transmitting an ASP configuration over the network; and transmitting real-time wind measurement data from an ASP over the network to the base station, wherein at least one of real-time wind measurements, a wind profile, an average wind speed, or a weapon aiming offset is calculated using the real-time wind measurement data and received atmospheric data. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
