Abstract

Data captured by wind sensors installed at various locations in a region is processed to predict a wind value representative of wind flows within the region. One or more histograms of wind flows represented in the data are generated, and continuous probability distributions (e.g., Weibull distributions) are derived based on the histograms. The wind value may represent wind flows represented in the histograms at which an aerial vehicle may be expected to encounter when performing a mission within the region. If the wind value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the aerial vehicle may be permitted to perform the mission. If the wind value does not exceed the predetermined threshold, however, the aerial vehicle may not be permitted to perform the mission.
