A system and method to update weather forecasting using on-board sensing equipment is presented. An aircraft uses onboard sensors to collect atmospheric data during the aircrafts flight. The aircraft's sensors may include an altimeter, a GPS device, a thermometer, and a speedometer. The aircraft may use the collected atmospheric data to calculate other atmospheric measurements, such as changes in atmospheric pressure. The aircraft sends the atmospheric data to a ground station, such as an air traffic control tower, which, in turn, sends the atmospheric data to a weather server. The weather server analyzes the atmospheric data and may send a preferences update to the aircraft which may include an increased atmospheric data transmission interval.
