Meteorologists know that an accurate forecast depends on a reliable source of initial conditions. With AI and ML advancing the science of short and long-term weather prediction, the technology still requires a starting point. Densely populated areas tend to be rich in observations, while rural areas are often less fortunate and under-served.

This presentation will highlight the unique benefits of weather observations via the patented CopterSonde 3 weather drone (WxUAS).

Attendees of this session can look forward to:

• An informative exploration of the 3D Mesonet concept
• Learning about products available from InterMet Systems to help take your weather observations to the next level
• A case study of CopterSonde 3 data improving airport operations in real-time
