INC 45537 Dropsonde Calibration Chamber
INC 45537 Dropsonde Calibration Chamber

An item specifically designed to accommodate one or more high altitude meteorological devices (dropsondes) for the purpose of testing the accuracy. It supplies power during the warm up and baselining phases of sonde manipulation. It may inject a signal into the sonde(s) and measure the sonde current and/or the battery voltage.

Additional Information for Dropsonde Calibration Chamber Additional Information for Dropsonde Calibration Chamber

Dropsonde Calibration Chambers are specialized equipment used in meteorology to calibrate dropsondes. Dropsondes are small, expendable devices that are released from aircraft or weather balloons to collect atmospheric data such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

The Dropsonde Calibration Chamber is designed to simulate the atmospheric conditions that the dropsonde will encounter during its descent. It allows meteorologists to test and calibrate the sensors and instruments on the dropsonde before it is deployed in the field.

The chamber typically consists of a controlled environment with adjustable temperature, humidity, and pressure settings. It also includes a mechanism to release the dropsonde and collect the data it transmits during the calibration process.

By using a Dropsonde Calibration Chamber, meteorologists can ensure that the dropsondes are accurately measuring and recording atmospheric data, which is crucial for weather forecasting and research purposes.
