Hello,
I'm a journalist interested in using an air-quality sensor on a drone, and I'm wondering how the airflow will affect the readings. This would be assuming that I will use a DJ Phantom 2 quadcopter with a GoPro underneath, the drone specs can be found at this link. For the project, we will compare results using a drone along with a weather balloon — just to be sure that it is actually feasible, but I thought I would come here first, as this community has knowledge that I do not.
So I have a few questions:
What would be the ideal place to position an air-quality sensor?
Could I use a formula to correct for the difference in results?
What factors do I have to consider?
Is there a realistic way to come up with reliable results?
Thank you,
Daren
