What is the weather balloon unit?

A weather balloon unit is a package of equipment that typically includes a balloon, a radiosonde (instrument to measure various weather parameters), a parachute, and sometimes a radar reflector. This unit is used to collect weather data by releasing the balloon into the atmosphere, where it ascends and transmits information back to the ground station.


What weather balloon device for measuring air pressure temperature and relative humidity is called a?

A radiosonde is a weather balloon device that measures air pressure, temperature, and relative humidity as it ascends through the atmosphere. It relays this data back to the ground station for analysis and weather forecasting purposes.

What does a radiosonde measure?

A radiosonde(Sondeis French and German for probe) is a unit for use in things such as weather balloons that measures various atmospheric parameters and transmits them to a fixed receiver.


What weather instrument Carries weather instruments aloft to about 30000's meters?

A weather balloon carries weather instruments, such as a radiosonde, aloft to about 30,000 meters. As the balloon ascends, the instruments collect data on temperature, humidity, and pressure, transmitting the information back to the ground for weather forecasting and research.
