OSU researchers take flight with study to advance weather-sensing UAS technology

Fri, Nov 14, 2025

Over the past decade, researchers from the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, along with others, have explored the use of weather-sensing unmanned aerial systems (WxUAS) to supplement existing weather observation tools and improve forecasting in the atmospheric boundary layer — the region from the surface to roughly 5,000 feet. The goal is to increase the quality and frequency of atmospheric measurements, ultimately strengthening the prediction of high-impact weather and improving public safety.
