A robot needs a brain. Its brain
is a computer. The computer
contains a program. Programs
tell robots what to do. Climate
scientists create programs.

UAVs do not carry people.
They carry only sensors. Some
of these measure temperature.
Others measure wind and
humidity.

Flying into storms is dangerous.

But some UAVs can fly in rough
weather. They gather data.
Scientists study this data. They
learn how storms form.
Small, tough UAVs
can survive storms.

This UAV carries
sensors under its
left wing.
UAVs are very useful for studying
storms. Ground sensors measure
only what passes above them.
But UAVs can follow storms.
