BOULDER, Colo.—The University of Colorado is seeking federal approval to keep using a weather drone.
CU program director Eric Frew says CU’s request last year was a renewal of a previous permit to use the Tempest Unmanned Aircraft to collect storm data for atmospheric scientists in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.
