Radiosonde Transmitter
Item Name Code (INC) 00499
![]() |
A component which generates electrical signals of the proper frequency and form, which when applied to an antenna will propagate radio frequency electromagnetic waves into space and is designed to be used with associated equipment for automatically transmitting high altitude meteorological data from a balloon, kite, or rocket.
Additional Information for Radiosonde Transmitter
Radiosonde transmitters are devices used in meteorology to collect and transmit data about atmospheric conditions. They are part of the supply class "Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus" in the supply group "Instruments And Laboratory Equipment."
Radiosonde transmitters are typically attached to weather balloons and launched into the atmosphere. As the balloon ascends, the transmitter collects data on temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction. This information is then transmitted back to a ground station or satellite.
The data collected by radiosonde transmitters is crucial for weather forecasting, climate research, and atmospheric studies. It helps meteorologists understand and predict weather patterns, monitor atmospheric conditions, and track the movement of storms.
Radiosonde transmitters are designed to be lightweight, durable, and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures. They are equipped with sensors to measure various atmospheric parameters and a radio transmitter to send the data back to the ground.
In addition to radiosonde transmitters, the supply class "Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus" may also include other instruments used in meteorology, such as weather stations, barometers, anemometers, rain gauges, and thermometers. These instruments are essential for gathering accurate and reliable weather data for analysis and forecasting purposes.
