Vaisala Measurement Systems develops, produces and markets instruments and systems for observing the weather in the upper atmosphere. The division's products and services are used in many weather measurement and observation applications.

The division's main customers include meteorological and hydrological institutes, meteorological and climatological research institutes, defense forces, civil aviation organizations, insurance companies and power utilities. 

The division's net sales were as expected. EUR 10.0 million of the growth is due to the Sigmet acquisition carried out in January. Decrease in comparable net sales is due to slower sales of wind profilers and lightning detection systems. The operating profit was burdened by the one-off costs caused by the reorganization of the radiosonde production.

The Vaisala Measurement Systems division's strategy is based on product leadership and operational efficiency. The division's main products include sounding systems with radiosonde and dropsonde instruments and their ground equipment, wind profilers, lightning tracking systems, and weather radar signal processors. Installation, training, maintenance, consultation and operational services form a significant part of the offering. Vaisala is the global market leader in all the product ranges it offers for upper-air measurement.

To strengthen its position as a premium-class product provider and market leader in upper-air measurement applications, Vaisala Measurement Systems constantly develops its product offering. The goal is to improve efficiency by streamlining logistics, products and operations. The division continues to focus on improving operational efficiency.
