A satellite feed to the spotter scope/pda?
I'm sure there's algorithm out there already that transposes temperature/infrared scan to pressure gradient and in turn wind speed. The weather satellite and airline infrastructure should be able to provide the platform. Perhaps not in small increment but critiical spots ie. at shooter to 200m, half, then 2/3 (apogee of the trajectory? ), and at stark shift of terrain feature

Also, for that linux system to work, shooter error in trigger squeeze should be eliminated via electronic trigger. During bullseye practice, an intl pistol olympic shooter showed me that set up fr his 50m small bore. Just touch and bang
