Drones in atmospheric and environmental research
Drone and sensor technologies develop fast, and so does their application in science and service. Collaboration between research institutes and industry is expected to accelerate this development and facilitate future funding potentials.
"Drones provide fascinating new opportunities to investigate and monitor atmosphere and our environment. Therefore, Finnish Meteorological Institute invests in this fast developing technology. It is foreseen that with collaboration we gain effective solutions for data end users", says Anne Hirsikko, Head of Group at Finnish Meteorological Institute.
Seminar on drones in January 2019
Finnish Meteorological Institute organizes a seminar on current drone activities to facilitate discussion between drone operators in the fields of atmosphere and environment. Representatives from Traficom and ANSFinland will report actual news on drone regulation and traffic management, respectively.
Target audience of the seminar includes cooperation partners in research and development.
When: Thursday 31.1.2019, at 12:15-17 hoursWhere: Finnish Meteorological Institute, Erik Palmenin aukio 1Language: English
The agenda includes the following topics:
Drone Application at Atmospheric Composition Research
Drone-borne gas monitoring
Vertical profiles of lung deposited surface area concentration of particulate matter measured with a drone in an urban street canyon
FMI drone activities in the Arctic and Antarctic
Current regulations related to drone operation
Management of drone operations in FMI
Trafic management of drones
Taking drone operations to the next level– what's needed?"
The Drone Weather Service in Finnish Meteorological Institute: current projects, possible future scenarios
