The April issue of Meteorological Technology International describes the work being done by NOAA’s Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division with the iMet-XQ sensor. ATDD was one of the primary beta testers of the XQ and their feedback was essential in improving the product before its 2016 production release.
The artical also describes NOAA’s use of the Raytheon Coyote fixed-wing UAV for hurricane research. The Coyote is equipped with InterMet’s iMet-XF sensor package.
