The atmospheric sounding experiment is a practical course that complements the theoretical course of atmospheric detection. Mastering the basic experi-mental techniques of atmospheric detection is a fundamental requirement for the development of talents in atmospheric science and atmospheric detection for the new era of meteorological observation. The School of Atmospheric Sciences at the Chengdu University of Information Technology has adjusted the teaching content and system of the traditional undergraduate course “at-mospheric detection experiment” by integrating teaching and laboratory re-sources, and established a teaching system that combines basic experiments with cut-ting-edge experiments, validation experiments, and independent de-sign experiments, laying a foundation for improving the quality of teaching of the undergraduate course “atmospheric detection experiment”. This article will focus on the design ideas, observation methods, principles, and comparison results verification of the “low-altitude atmospheric element detection experi-ment based on multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles” in the atmospheric de-tection experiment course. This article breaks through the traditional operation of atmospheric detection experiments, and combines modular design and practice of a new experimental course system to design novel atmospher-ic-sounding experiments and course systems, achieving good application re-sults.
