Vaisala radiosondes
Vaisala has been producing and selling radiosondes since
1936, when the company was founded by Professor Väisälä on the strength of his
first radiosonde. From 1936 to the present day, Vaisala has steadily introduced
new RS-series radiosondes offering evolutionary improvements in PTU measurement
and wind-finding. Today we offer two radiosonde families, the RS80 and the
RS92. For many years, the RS80 has been the basic device of upper-air weather
observation around the world but the modern era in sounding is being measured
with the Vaisala Radiosonde
RS92. It offers the world’s highest level of PTU measurement performance and
continuous wind data availability. Vaisala continues on constactly developing and
improving the latest RS92 radiosonde faminy and the equipment related to it.
The New Shape of Upper-Air Weather Observation is composed of the Vaisala Radiosonde RS92 family, the Vaisala DigiCORA® Sounding System MW21 and DigiCORA® sounding software and the Vaisala Ground Check Set GC25.
The Vaisala Radiosonde RS80 family has served the meteorological organizations of the world with distinction for some 20 years.
The Vaisala Ground Check Set GC25 is used with the Vaisala Radiosonde RS92 family. It is easier to use than older Vaisala ground check sets and offers the important advantage of humidity sensor reconditioning for optimum humidity measurement performance.
