Abstract
A weather control station receives from a communication network data packets transmitted wirelessly to the network by a mobile platform separated from the control station. The data packets carry images captured by an image sensor aboard the mobile platform and show one or more weather conditions local to the mobile platform. The control station recovers the images from the data packets and processes the recovered images according to one or more weather condition detection algorithms to detect the one or more weather conditions, respectively. The weather station reports the one or more detected weather conditions.
