Methods and systems for altitude control of balloons to improve wind data
Abstract:
A method may involve analyzing, by a computing device, a wind model to identify one or more locations in a coverage area of a balloon network where updated wind data is desirable. The balloon network may include a plurality of balloons that are configured to provide data service. The method may further involve determining, by the computing device, a flight plan for each of one or more balloons in the balloon network. At least one flight plan may be determined based at least in part on both: (a) the one or more locations where updated wind data is desirable and (b) data-service requirements in the coverage area of the balloon network. And the method may involve sending each determined flight plan for implementation by the corresponding balloon.
