What is Radiosond?
The direct descendant of the historic meteographer, Radiosond is an atmospheric measuring device that transmits reading and data through radio waves to the receiver. Radiosonds are able to measure different atmospheric conditions, including temperature, humidity, speed and wind direction and more. The devices are used in weather balloons to monitor these conditions and have been commonly used since 1930. Ozonesonde is designed specifically for measuring ozone concentration levels in the atmosphere, while Rawinsonds is to measure wind direction and speed unlike the entire measurement range provided by radiosone. Most radiosonds are launched from one of more than 800 authorized starting points around the world through balloons filled with hydrogen or helium.
Some radiosonds are dropped from the aircraft, most often when intention is recorded by conditions at a particular location, for example in the center of a storm cloud. These devices are known as dropsondes. Radiosonds are regularly used to track your superstructureTrostní activities and forecasts of future weather events. Their use in weather balloons and by launching Dropsondes provided invaluable data for weather forecasts and research of storm activity.
developed initially in 1929 by Robert Bureau in France, the name is derived from the two features of the device - radio, for the way the information is transmitted from the device a is a French word, which means probe . However, the design of Bureau has not been accepted as a standard, although its name has remained. A year later, Pavel Molchanov Radiosonda was developed and launched, which transmitted its information in Morse code. Using the international-recognized on-off text code, reading from Radiasonde Molchanov can be easily read and understood without the requirement for specialized equipment or individual training. Molchanov device was used as a standard from which BYly created all future radiosonds' proposals.
The key indicator in weather forecasts is used to interpret thermodynamics, humidity and temperatures by upper air provided to radiosonds. Reading from these locations of the upper air may indicate incoming weather conditions. Similar measures can be taken in lower atmospheres to provide instructions with regard to potential tornadoes. These tornadoes prediction tests are regularly performed in Oklahoma City in Oklahoma in the United States during the Tornado period in March and April every year.
