Short summary
Severe weather can change quickly, but routine weather measurements often miss important details near the ground. We built and tested CopterSonde-SWX, a small weather drone designed to collect vertical profiles in strong winds and measure temperature, humidity, and wind. Field tests showed it closely matched trusted instruments and handled stronger winds than earlier versions. This work supports future drone networks to improve storm monitoring, forecasting, and public safety.
