The data collected will be used in planning for the future. The drones will be expected to send out information which helps measure wind, thermodynamic and atmospheric chemistry parameters. Researchers in Colorado and Nebraska have successfully deployed drones into about 10 storms which included 6 super storms and a lot of data were gathered on temperature and moisture data.
There is another area in which drones are to be deployed in the United States and this is known as weather modification or manipulation. Tests are being developed by a team of meteorologists in Nevada to use drones to scatter particulates of silver iodide into the cloud system to trigger the release of rain or snow.
