Micro weather risk mapping for very low-level aerial vehicles

A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving data indicating a first geographic area;
• obtaining meteorologic data for a second geographic area, wherein the first geographic area is smaller than and entirely bounded by the second geographic area;
• determining topographic parameters associated with the first geographic area;
• performing a comparison of the topographic parameters associated with the first geographic area to topographic parameters associated with a plurality of predetermined micro-weather models;
• selecting a micro-weather model from among the plurality of predetermined micro-weather models based on the comparison;
• and
• determining, based on the meteorologic data for the second geographic area and the micro-weather model, risk data indicative of risk of particular meteorological conditions in the first geographic area.
