Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system configured to provide output indicative of crop spraying conditions in an agricultural region, the system including: an input configured to receive data from at least one monitoring physical tower, wherein the physical tower extends from ground level in the agricultural region, wherein the tower includes one or more anemometers configured to measure respective wind speeds at one or more predetermined heights above the ground level; a processor which is configured to process periodic values of respective wind speeds at the one or more predetermined heights above the ground level, thereby to derive a real-time measure representative of a local vertical turbulence characteristic for the location of the monitoring tower, wherein the real-time measure representative of a local vertical turbulence characteristic for the location of the monitoring tower is based on a standard deviation of vertical wind speed; and an output device which is configured to provide the output indicative of crop spraying conditions based on a comparison between: (i) the real-time measure representative of the local vertical turbulence characteristic; and (ii) one or more predetermined threshold values.
