How do I estimate higher altitude wind speed? I assume that above the tree line windspeed picks up a lot. So fights going over 1000 ft might start hitting higher wind speed causing my rocket to drift more after ejection. I have a small field and will be using streamers to mitigate this as much as possible. Eventually I'd like to achieve flights over 2,000 and 3,000ft.
Is there a way, through weather reports or aviation reports to find out this info? There is an airport about 4 miles away, so If they post this info it would be pretty relevant to my launch area.
New to rocketry, after a 30 year absence.
Thanks
