    When weather predictions are accurate, more people and their communities are protected from danger and socioeconomic impacts. Upper air soundings help provide a complete atmospheric weather profile, which enables weather organizations to make accurate forecasts.

    Vaisala RS41 Upper Air Radiosondes provide world-class data to meteorological institutes and organizations, and are known for their accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness.

    Vaisala’s radiosondes provide upper air weather measurement data including temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction, and perform even in the most demanding weather conditions — all in a robust and easy-to-use design.

    Streamline launch preparations, reduce human errors, and lower operational costs of upper-air weather observations with Vaisala’s Radiosondes.

    Vaisala Radiosonde RS41 E-models combine high-quality atmospheric sounding data with innovative, biodegradable materials to help reduce plastic waste originating from sounding operations.

    RS41 E-models are an industry first in biodegradable materials: All models include BioCover™, our patent-pending plastic-free and biodegradable radiosonde cover and insulation, and BioTwine™, our plastic-free and biodegradable unwinder twine. These new materials represent an overall reduction of 66% in plastics in the product.  

    Tailored to the needs of meteorological organizations, RS41 E-models can replace standard RS41 radiosondes in operational use, with the same uncompromising performance and accuracy.
