| description | Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly being used in meteorology research due to their ability to overcome challenges such as difficult access to hazardous locations and the need for high-resolution and real-time data. UAVs provide accurate and precise high-resolution data that allows scientists to study small-scale weather phenomena in unprecedented detail. This survey highlights the different types of UAVs used in meteorology, including fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and hybrid UAVs, as well as the various payload options available, such as sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and precipitation. Overall choosing the appropriate UAV for meteorological applications relies on meeting specific mission requirements, including various factors. |
