Methods, and unmanned aerial systems for obtaining meteorological data

An unmanned aerial system (UAS), for obtaining meteorological data, the UAS comprising:

• at least one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
• a control center;
• and
• a wireless communication interface,
• the at least one UAV being equipped with at least one meteorological data sensor and a flight controller (FC), the at least one UAV being arranged for wireless communication with the control center via the wireless communication interface,
• during flight, the control center and the FC of the at least one UAV are configured to:
• send flight instruction data, from the control center to the at least one UAV, instructing the at least one UAV to perform flight;
• perform flight, by the at least one UAV, according to the flight instruction data;
• collect raw meteorological data and flight data, by the at least one UAV during the flight, wherein the raw meteorological data is collected by the meteorological data sensor, and the flight data is collected by the FC,
• wherein the flight data comprises real time flight related data of the at least one UAV and the flight data being collected by at least one of a position sensor, a motion sensor, or an environment sensor in the FC;
• transmit, in real time, the collected raw meteorological data and the flight data, from the at least one UAV to the control center, during the flight, via the wireless communication interface of the UAS;
• calculate meteorological data, in the control center, based on the received raw meteorological data and the flight data;
• send return instruction data, from the control center to the at least one UAV;
• instruct the at least one UAV to return to the control center;
• and
• return the at least one UAV to the control center, according to the return instruction data.
