The instrument that a meteorologist uses to measure weather data from the upper atmosphere is Radiosondes.
What is a radiosonde used for?
- The radiosonde is a small, expendable instrument package that is suspended below a six foot wide balloon filled with hydrogen or helium.
- As the radiosonde rises at about 1,000 feet/minute (300 meters/minute), sensors on the radiosonde measure profiles of pressure, temperature, and relative humidity.
- These sensors are linked to a battery powered transmitter that sends the measurements to a ground receiver.
- By tracking the position of the radiosonde in flight, information on wind speed and direction aloft is also obtained. Observations where winds aloft are also obtained are called "rawinsonde" observations.
Radiosonde observations are used over a broad spectrum of efforts including:
- Input for computer-based weather prediction models
- Local severe storm, marine forecasts, and fire weather forecasts
- Winter weather and precipitation type forecasting
- Temperature forecasting
- Input for air pollution forecasts
- Weather and climate change research
