Research reveals direct measurements of wind and temperature from aircraft provide the highest valued inputs into Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models compared to weather balloon radiosondes, satellites, and ground-based, weather observing stations. However, aircraft data has its shortcomings including data spareness, clustering around major airports, and relatively high latency, which constrains its full potential to benefit the weather enterprise. This project demonstrates a low-cost, innovative system that has the ability to pull meteorological data, including wind and temperature, from aircraft equipped with Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) transponders in real-time. This standalone system presents several advantages over current methods such as low latency on the order of seconds and the compatibility with 75% of commercial aircraft, as well as smaller aircraft to significantly increase the number of observations both horizontally across the CONUS domain and vertically through the atmosphere.
