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. + +_Image Credit: NASA/Carla Thomas_
