The invention relates to training a machine learning algorithm and predicting a value for a weather data variable, preferably at a field or sub-field level. In this respect, according to the invention, a method for predicting a value for at least one weather data variable for at least one instant of time in the future, is provided, the method comprising the following method steps: feeding a machine learning algorithm with a predicted weather dataset that comprises at least one predicted value for the said at least one weather data variable for the said at least one instant of time in the future and for at least one grid point of a first grid covering at least a part of the Earth's surface, feeding the machine learning algorithm with an observed environmental dataset that comprises at least one ground truth value for at least one environmental data variable for at least one grid point of a second grid covering at least the said part of the Earth's surface, and outputting by the machine learning algorithm a predicted value for the said at least one weather data variable for the said at least one instant of time in the future. In this way, a possibility for field specific weather predictions for providing field zone specific treatment recommendations at a small-meshed grid level may be provided.

Determining, broadcasting and using reference pressure data in a network of transmitters. Particular embodiments described herein include machines that select atmospheric data from weather stations within a transmitter network, use the selected atmospheric data to determine a reference atmospheric value, and transmit the reference atmospheric value from a transmitter to a mobile device for use in estimating an altitude of the mobile device. The atmospheric data may include any of reference pressures form the weather stations, measured temperatures from the weather stations, or reference temperatures from the weather stations. The reference atmospheric value may include a reference pressure value of a reference altitude, or a reference temperature value.

A distributed weather system includes a storage, a plurality of wireless weather stations, a server, and an interface. Each of the plurality of wireless weather stations is associated with a user and has a battery, a location sensor generating location information, an anemometer generating apparent wind speed, a transmitter transmitting the location information with the apparent wind speed to a network at periodic intervals, and a receiver receiving control commands that include a length of the periodic intervals. The server receives the location information with the apparent wind speed and stores them in the storage. The interface is accessible by a mobile computer, and receives the control commands from a user and sends them to the receiver of the wireless weather station associated with the user. The interface displays a true wind speed for each of the plurality of wireless weather stations, which is calculated using the apparent wind speed, the location information, and historical location information.
