Defined problems, storms develop for a lot of reasons, however they are usually formed over the ocean, where there is a lack of ground weather stations- or available and accurate weather predicting technology to be informed of the developing problems. Helped define the problem- knew we had to start looking at an aerial fix.

Helped decide on the solution to the problem defined. Knew we wanted to fix the problem of lack of data to dictate local weather and storms, using weather drones are perfect for the needed altitude and terrain.

Gave a lot of good information on the prior attempts to weather
drones as well as other weather measurement devices and why they are
unsuitable to the desired altitude- the Mid and Lower atmospheres.
Additionally, led me to consider the use of a drone instead of a
fixed wing plane- something to think about.

Gave me a good concept of how weather works and how weather instruments are implemented in order to read accurate data. Described how weather instruments are effected by the weather and how the effect is what gives the readings off.

ProQuest, https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/even-weak-tropical-cyclones-have-grown-more/docview/2741108132/se-2.
Gave information on how weather patterns are analyzed with specific data. Specifically, certain weather conditions are associated with certain kinds of storms. Collecting data on the climate gives weather analysts the needed information for them to make informed decisions about potential storms.
