Shear Wind Estimation

This paper presents atmospheric Shear Wind phenomena models and develops a Particle Filter estimator to characterize the phenomena. We describe a model for the Surface Shear Wind and another for the Layer Shear Wind. The models are described and adjusted for Besian estimation. A Particle Filter was implemented and tested in simulation for Surface Shear Wind parameter estimation. The estimator was idealized to be used by small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The implemented Particle Filter estimates the surrounding ow eld with a small number of variables, and as such, low memory requirements.
