Rawinsonde weather balloon just after launch. Notice a parachute in the center of the string and a small instrument box at the end. After release it measures many parameters.

rawinsonde"An upper- air sounding that includes determination of wind speeds and directions. Historically, wind data were obtained by tracking a balloon-borne radiosonde with a radio direction finder.

It is a type of rawinsonde system. Rain Precipitation composed of liquid water drops more than 0.5 mm in diameter, falling in relatively straight, but not necessarily vertical, paths. Compare to drizzle.

pressure and humidity by means of a small, expendable radio transmitter. Radiosondes can be tracked by radar, radio direction finding, or navigation systems (such as the satellite Global Positioning System) to obtain wind data. See also rawinsonde.

" Another type is a " rawinsonde," which is a radiosonde that is tracked by either radar or or a radio direction finder such that wind direction and speed aloft can be plotted for various vertical layers.
