Meteodrones & MeteoBase - Mobile Weather Stations
Existing weather models are struggeling to accurately predict local weather phenomena such as fog, strong winds and thunderstorms. This is primarily due to the limited amount of data available in the lowest layers of the atmosphere. An important step towards more forecasts are the own in-house designed, developed, manufactured, patented and operated Meteodrones. They collect data within the planetary boundary layer (approximately 3 km above ground). This allows to carry out highly precise measurements of temperature, humidity and windspeed in the planetary boundary layer.
Weather Forecasting Technology
How data from 3km above ground revolutionizes the world of weather forecasting. We aggregate and downscale data from the world’s leading meteorological and scientific institutions and we run our own high resolution downscaled model. We have our own Meteodrone program that includes drone design, development and manufacture. We are authorized by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) to fly our drones beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and within regulated airspace in Switzerland in order to gather observations across all level of the atmosphere up to 3km above ground level.
