Services

Drone Meteorite Searching

If you are interested in using our platform for drone data processing to find meteorites (find.gfo.rocks), please contact us.

This platform handles:

• drone data upload for both survey and training data;
• overview on progress for all steps of the processing;
• training data labelling;
• machine learning training and inference (meteorite detection);
• meteorites candidates review interfaces;
• GPS-enabled map showing the locations of meteorite candidates for in-situ follow-up (including geo-referenced drone images as overlays);
• user management, so you can get other people to help review your meteorite candidates.

This service is in principle provided free of charge to members of the research community involved in actively publishing scientific papers, as part of a collaborative agreement with our team.

For commercial operations, personal collectors, and other non-research uses, contact us so we can discuss commercial arrangements.

Atmospheric modelling

If you need an atmospheric model for meteorite dark flight purposes, we can in principle calculate one anywhere on Earth using WRF modelling.

Steps:

• Download a config file template from here.
• Email it to Hadrien.

Notes:

• Output data products only cover up to ~31 km altitudes.
• Input data for running the model is not always immediately available (might take a day or two).
• We cannot guarantee we can provide the service in a timely fashion.
• We are mostly interested in collaborating on cases that are useful to research, hence may decline a request in some instances.
• If you use data products from this service in a publication, we kindly ask that you add this acknowledgement, and cite our dark flight paper as source for the method.

Output data products:

• native wrfout NetCDF files (can be read/exported using this code as example).
• vertical profiles extracted at the time and coordinates provided. CSV file, all SI units:

Column Name	Format	Unit	Comment
height		metre	Height (Above Sea Level)
temperature		Kelvin
pressure		Pascal
relative_humidity	%		atmospheric relative Humidity (0-100%)
wind_horizontal		metre/second	Magnitude of the wind vector in the horizontal plane
wind_direction	decimal	degrees	East of North direction the wind is coming from
wind_east		metre/second	Easterly component of the wind
wind_north		metre/second	Northerly component of the wind
wind_up		metre/second	Upwards component of the wind
density		kg/metre^3	Density of the atmosphere
