Microscale Weather Hazard Products for Urban Aviation Transportation
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for utilizing non-RAM memory to implement calculations of a first wind metric over a geographic area, wherein the first wind metric reflects total wind velocity vector differences. The method further calculates a second wind metric over the geographic area, wherein the second wind metric reflects a horizontal wind gradient near obstacles.
The method further generates a data set of the first wind metric and another data set of the second wind metric then combines them. The combined data set represents wind hazards in an urban environment with buildings and is used to identify or generate low altitude navigation paths for urban flighted vehicles, such as drones or air taxis.
