Abstract

Upper wind data is the basic data for meteorological services and military supporting missions, and balloon-tracing method is the most commonly used method in meteorological operation. In this paper a balloon-tracing and wind measuring method bases on inertial navigation systems (INS) is proposed accounting to the limitation in conventional methods. In this paper, INS measurement for upper wind system is established, its mathematical model is built, and the errors are analyzed. The results indicated that the average relative errors of wind velocity ranges from 2% to 4% and average wind direction measurement ranges from 7 degrees to 14 degrees; The maximum relative errors of wind velocity measurement ranges from 8% to 11%, the maximum errors of wind direction measurement ranges from 12 degrees to 17 degrees. Above all, the application of INS in upper wind measurement is feasible.)
