Publication number: 20210382200Abstract: In various embodiments, information regarding weather sensing devices in an observation network can be collected. Value differences such as root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) can then be calculated for values of a weather variable based on the collected information. A relationship between the value differences and distances among the weather sensing devices can be determined. A pre-determined value difference for the weather variable such as a pre-determined RMSE for the weather variable can be obtained. A distance for positioning two weather sensing devices in the observation network can be determined based on the relationship and the pre-determined value difference. One or more instructions may be issued based on the determined distance for a configuration of the observation network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2020Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Simeng Yan, Wenxiu Sun
