AN ASSESSMENT OF OKLAHOMA WINTER WEATHER THROUGH THE HIGH-RESOLUTION LENS OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
(2019-12-13)Winter weather can lead to power grid failures, disruption of transportation, and can impact the local economy. Specifically in the southern Great Plains, short term model analyses struggle to identify the depth and magnitude ... -
Observing system simulation experiment studies on the use of small UAV for boundary-layer sampling
(2018)A long-desired component to the U.S. operational observing systems is the capability to measure vertical profiles of wind, temperature and moisture in the lower troposphere at high spatial and temporal resolution. This ... -
Observing System Simulation Experiments Using Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Various Configurations to Improve High-Resolution Forecasts of Convection
(2021)There has been a lot of interest and development of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAVs) to obtain atmospheric measurements for research and operations. Some have proposed a 3D Mesonet concept to add vertical profiling ... -
UAV-Based In Situ Antenna Characterization: Analysis and Design Requirements
(2018-05-11)This thesis proposes to characterize antennas in situ with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially within the framework of weather radar and 5th generation wireless systems (5G) antennas. Specifically, it is concerned ...
