+Rocky Garcia and Wesley James prepare a weather balloon to collect wind data at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, on July 20, 2023. Researchers measured wind at altitudes below 2,000 feet using drones, sensors, weather balloons, and other technology during the [Advanced Exploration of Reliable Operation at Low Altitudes: Meteorology, Simulation and Technology campaign](https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-armstrong-supports-wind-study). This information could fill knowledge gaps to resolve wind and weather unknowns that could hinder Advanced Air Mobility flights and to improve weather forecasts.
