National meteorological institutes around the world rely on Vaisala systems and instruments for accurate atmospheric measurements. Key measurements include wind speed & direction, cloud height, temperature and humidity up to heights of over 30 kilometers.
The Vaisala DigiCORA® Sounding System MW31 is the new generation of the DigiCORA® Sounding System. It is based on the Sounding Processing Subsystem SPS311, which features new software-defined radio technology.
The Vaisala Radiosonde RS92 leads the modern era in sounding. It offers the world’s highest level of pressure, temperature and relative humidity measurement performance, and continuous wind data availability.
The Vaisala Dropsonde RD93 is a general-purpose dropsonde for high-altitude deployment from a variety of aircraft. It measures the atmospheric profiles of pressure, temperature, relative humidity and wind from the point of launch to the ground.
Wind data gathered with Vaisala tropospheric wind profilers can be used to improve numerical weather prediction at the national level and to determine how well a national forecast model is performing.
In order to respond to the needs of climatological research, Vaisala is committed to publishing radiosonde-related information that could affect the interpretation of climatologial time series.
