![]() |
A grouping of mechanical, electrical and electronic components which, operated together, utilize radio direction finding principles to track a radiosonde or radar target in its trajectory, permitting the indication and/or recording of the elevation and azimuth angles of the balloon with respect to fixed reference points. Used for determining direction and speed of winds aloft by triangulation.
Additional Information for Rawin Set
Rawin Set is a type of meteorological instrument used for measuring and recording weather data. It is commonly used in weather forecasting and research. The term "Rawin" is derived from the words "radio" and "wind," indicating its ability to measure wind speed and direction using radio signals.
A Rawin Set typically consists of a radiosonde, which is a small instrument package attached to a weather balloon. The radiosonde measures various atmospheric parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed. It transmits this data back to a ground station via radio signals.
The Rawin Set also includes a tracking system, which is used to monitor the movement of the weather balloon and radiosonde. This allows meteorologists to track the balloon's ascent and descent, as well as its position in the atmosphere.
Overall, Rawin Sets are essential tools for gathering upper-air meteorological data. They provide valuable information for weather forecasting, climate research, and atmospheric studies.
