Patent Awarded for Atmospheric Sensing with Air Vehicles – United States Patent No.: US 11,948,467 B2

Embodiments of a system, device and method improve weather modeling approaches for use by air vehicles to mitigate weather hazards and/or optimize air vehicle operations. Various embodiments collect a set of independent measurements of atmospheric parameters of interest, collect a set of onboard measurements from one or more non-traditional atmospheric sensors onboard an air vehicle, process the collected measurements to identify values of selected atmospheric parameters and generate a model for relating raw sensor outputs from the non-traditional atmospheric sensors to the atmospheric parameters of interest.
