Sentence examples for the radiosonde from inspiring English sources
noun
A miniature radio carried aloft by an unmanned balloon to automatically transmit measurements of the upper air such as the wind speed, pressure, temperature, and relative humidity to a receiving station on the ground.
Above the boundary layer, but within the troposphere, the primary standard observation platform is the radiosonde.
The position of the radiosonde can be monitored by radar tracking so that wind speed and direction as a function of height are routinely available for this reason radiosondes are also referred to as rawinsondes.
Above the routine maximum height of the radiosonde data (above levels where atmospheric pressure drops below 100 millibars, at about 17 km [10.5 miles]), rocketsondes, rocket-borne grenades, and falling sphere experiments have been used to monitor the thermal structure of the upper atmosphere.
RW collected and analyzed the radiosonde data.
White circles represent the radiosonde launch locations.
The GNSS antennas were set higher than the radiosonde base.
Black and red open circles indicate the tropospheric opacities calculated from the radiosonde data and those measured with the MWR within ±30 min of the radiosonde observation, respectively.
where e is the partial pressure of water vapor (computed from the radiosonde humidity and temperature readings, see Equation 7) and T is the radiosonde temperature reading.
Therefore, as a height correction, the radiosonde observed water vapor amount between the radiosonde launching point to the GNSS antenna was removed from radiosonde observations.
The radiosonde stations at Minamidaitojima and Chichijima are indicated by green circles.
Fig. 3 The result of the radiosonde observation of the Hakuho-maru cruise.
