In the present paper, a hardware-software complex (HSC) intended for monitoring of lower layers of the atmosphere and subsequent forecasting of meteorological situations in a limited territory is described. The measuring network comprises remote and local meteorological measuring instruments distributed over the limited territory. The remote means of sounding are acoustic radars (sodars) and temperature profilometers providing measurements of atmospheric parameters in the atmospheric boundary layer. The local instruments for measuring meteorological parameters in the near-ground layer of the atmosphere are ultrasonic meteorological stations. The key feature of the hardware-software complex is the application of multirotor aeromobile platforms (MAP) to the verification of data of remote meteorological measurements (RMP) in the atmospheric boundary layer to improve data quality.
