  1. #CopterPortrait Meet Hopper¹, our second and bigger #multicopter with meteorological #PARASITE payload. This one can carry a lot more sensors, so we have more temperature and humidity measurements, some gas sensors (#CO2, #Ozone, #NO2) and most importantly #particles. The two chimneys at the sides are two inlets for particle measurements: one is dried with silica beads and the other just gets unchanged ambient air. You can read more about this in this² paper. While you're at it, you can have a look at our other publications on particles, e.g. this one³.

    Of course, Hopper's PARASITE payload also runs ❄️ #NixOS.

  2. #CopterPortrait Meet Flik¹, the #multicopter we developed our first #PARASITE payload for. It's a commercial dji Mavic 3E drone typically used for photography. Here, Flik is measuring for the #TeamX campaign in #Austria, which will eventually improve #mountainWeather forecasts.

    🌡️ Our PARASITE system (running ❄️ #NixOS) has several ventilated meteorological sensors on board for temperature and relative humidity.

    💨 From all the data we get from copter and sensors we derive a fast 3D wind measurement. So yes: We can now measure #turbulence with a copter, without the need for an actual anemometer: The copter is our anemometer!

    ✅ Comparisons in #Falkenberg with a @DeutscherWetterdienst tower shows that the data quality is comparable to ultrasonic anemometers - the current gold standard of operational turbulence measurements.

    ¹ yes, from #Pixar's #BugsLife 🐜 😉
