A device for integrated processing of information about spatial position of the unmanned aerodrome meteorological reconnaissance
The development of weather forecasts requires the aerodrome meteorological service's forecaster to carefully analyze meteorological information from aerodrome means of meteorological measurements, analysis of surface synoptic weather maps, maps of absolute and relative baric topography of various levels (from AT-850 to AT-200, OT 500/1000), maps of tropopause and maximum wind, prognostic maps of levels 400, 300 and 200 hPa, as well as analysis of data from meteorological radar stations and satellite meteorological data. A comprehensive analysis of all weather information allows the weather forecaster to develop high-quality weather and thereby reduce the likelihood of accidents on meteorological factors and ensure high regularity of flights. However, for a number of geographical areas of the Russian Federation (polar and Arctic regions, mountain areas) there is a low density of ground meteorological stations, stations of aerological radiosonde of the atmosphere and positions of meteorological radar stations. In addition, at the aerodromes, there are practically no means of measuring temperature, humidity and wind parameters at the heights of aircraft flight, and the refusal of balloon sounding at the aerodromes practically deprived the weather forecasters of the means of measuring wind parameters at the heights of aircraft flight in the aerodrome area. An alternative to the spherical sounding can be technical means for measuring atmospheric parameters, implemented on the principles of remote or contact measurements. The greatest gain can be achieved through the use of unmanned meteorological scouts included in the aerodrome system of atmospheric sensing or in the aerodrome mobile radar and atmospheric sensing systems. At the same time, one of the main tasks to be solved is the problem of determining the spatial coordinates of an unmanned meteorological scout, because the meteorological information obtained by sensing the atmosphere (temperature, humidity, wind parameters) should be tied to the point of their measurement in the atmosphere. In the present article the variants of schemes of the device of complex processing of information on spatial position of the unmanned meteorological scout are considered.
