New product launches included a new radiosonde product family-the Vaisala Radiosonde " RS92 " ( 2003-in production ), as well as the Vaisala Weather Transmitter, which measures the six most essential weather parameters in one compact instrument.

Although hundreds of radiosondes are launched worldwide each day year-round, the only known fatality attributed to a radiosonde was the electrocution of a lineman in the United States who was attempting to free a radiosonde from high-tension power lines in 1943.

In the atmospheric sciences, " in situ " refers to obtained through direct contact with the respective subject, such as a radiosonde measuring a parcel of air or an anemometer measuring wind, as opposed to remote sensing such as weather satellites.

Research facilities for undergraduate and graduate meteorology students include a rooftop weather observation center, an electronic map wall, a weather technology lab, a GPS-radiosonde system, a portable micrometeorological measurement platform and a fully instrumental Automated Weather Observation System ( AWOS ).

Although modern remote sensing by satellites, aircraft and ground sensors is an increasing source of atmospheric data, none of these systems can match the vertical resolution ( or less ) and altitude coverage ( ) of radiosonde observations, so they remain essential to modern meteorology.

Cooling of the lower stratosphere ( about 49, 000-79, 500 ft . ) since 1979 is shown by both satellite Microwave sounding unit and radiosonde data, but is larger in the radiosonde data likely due to uncorrected errors in the radiosonde data ( see figure opposite ).

Major Takada watched as the balloon flew upward and over the sea : " The figure of the balloon was visible only for several minutes following its release until it faded away as a spot in the blue sky like a daytime star . " A few balloons carried radiosonde equipment rather than bombs.
