YEAR WHEN RADIOSONDES FIRST TESTED BY VAISALA

High-quality weather observations under one roof

Vaisala’s sounding systems integrate sounding control, data processing, and output in customized formats. Vaisala’s combination of sounding devices and software are used to process, analyze, archive, and relay sounding data — resulting in optimal networking, detection, and monitoring. Other benefits include:

  • Flexibility and future upgradability of both hardware and software
  • Excellent telemetry link performance and bandwidth efficiency

Our sounding systems are complemented by Vaisala’s radiosondes using sensors to cover all atmospheric and weather conditions in every climate zone including: pressure, temperature, and relative humidity measurement and wind finding. Vaisala Radiosonde RS41 E-models with BioCover and  BioTwine can replace standard RS41 radiosondes in operational use, with the same uncompromising performance and accuracy.
