I believe I heard on NPR that due to the grounding of many planes from Covid, weather models have less data points for prediction.

- eXpl0it3r 6y agoYes, a lot of the detailed weather data is actually provided by planes, but with a lot fewer planes flying, they get fewer data points and the models lose accuracy.
- sliken 6y agoNormal passenger planes provide significant data collection for weather predictions?
- IAmGraydon 6y agoInteresting! Thanks for that.
