Small drones can conduct wind speed measurements in regions where weather stations are difficult to set up and maintain, such as the Arctic region. However, standard ultrasonic anemometers used for wind profiling are too heavy for small drones. To tackle this, Japanese researchers have now tested and validated the use of lightweight thermal anemometers on small drones to accurately measure wind speeds in the Okhotsk Sea, opening doors to a more sustainable polar atmospheric science.
