It seems that I have to revise my original question, not enough information. Hypothetically, if a skydiver is forced to dive into a nasty storm with high winds; so I don't know what the wind speed would be, and the person opens their chute as soon as they clear the plane, at apx 10,000, about how far would this person drift in the high winds from one point on the ground to the plane to the final point on the ground where they touch down. I know that the winds can carry u up n down for probably miles? Is it possible that they can drift 100 miles away, 50 miles, etc? Person's body weight would be apx 120 lbs.
How far can a skydiver drift in a storm?
