Dronecopter development in the digital technology age for atmospheric measurements

Currently, society is facing the devastating impacts of climate change, counting changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, earthquakes, landslides, and indeed extraordinary climate occasions. The real impact does not only on our lives and the environment, but also on technological developments such as communication systems. Accurate predictions of atmospheric parameters such as solar activity, global mean temperature, and water vapor precipitation, all of which impact the proliferation of GPS/GNSS signals sent from satellites to receivers. These variabilities are projected to continue to extend within the future. Considering that the taken a toll of developing satellites is costly and require complete infrastructure for testing and launching, the point of this study is to develop reasonable drones as an elective implies of monitoring weather conditions in certain areas. Drones within the frame of quadcopters have been effectively developed and utilized to monitor weather conditions in limited ranges. The weather sensor is competent of measuring temperature, pressure, relative humidity, altitude, and precipitable water vapor (PWV). Measurements using drones in the era of digital technology are exceptionally promising since they can do it by yourself (DIY) and operated at a relatively low-cost.
