Conventional Known Distance highpower rifle competition gives one a lot of opportunities to get practice at doping winds in fairly consistent conditions. Fixed yard lines (typically 200, 300, and 600, and 800, 900, and 1,000) and flat ranges (albeit with different bordering obstacles and vegetation) give you the opportunity to build and refine data using generally known parameters. Range wind flags give you an idea of conditions where you can apply your formulae on a day or relay condition.
I have shot in few places where the conditions run generally the same all day, every day, but you may see similar weather and winds if you shoot at that particular range complex a few times.
I applaud the research people are doing to narrow or nail the variables for a first-round hit using a rifle at any time, place, or angle. I imagine they're the same for an M1A2 SEP 2 tank firing a 120mm main gun, on the move, over terrain, in the dark, using a catalog of maybe half-a-dozen round types. Except the tank has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sensors, it requires a lot of power, and it's not man-portable.
Patent the software and hardware that gives a rifleman the ability to do what you can with an M1 tank and you cut the training requirement for long-range sniping or competition by years. Don't know what it'll cost, but as they say -- build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door.
People know the name of the first success by their trade names -- Xerox, Hoover, Scotch tape, Post-it, McMillan, Harris, AR, etc. You could argue Kestrel is becoming the common term for the rifleman's hand-held weather station.
