Radioszondás

Radioszondás is a Hungarian term that translates to "radiosonde" in English. A radiosonde is an instrument package carried into the atmosphere by a weather balloon, which records and transmits measurements of atmospheric conditions. These measurements are typically taken at various altitudes as the balloon ascends.

The data collected by a radiosonde includes temperature, atmospheric pressure, and humidity. Some advanced radiosondes can also measure wind speed and direction by tracking the balloon's position. The instruments are powered by batteries, and the data is transmitted wirelessly to a ground station. This transmission is usually done via radio frequencies, hence the name "radiosonde."

Weather balloons carrying radiosondes are launched regularly from meteorological stations around the world. The collected data is crucial for weather forecasting, atmospheric research, and climate monitoring. It provides a vertical profile of the atmosphere, which is essential for understanding weather systems, developing accurate models, and studying atmospheric phenomena. The information gathered helps meteorologists predict weather patterns, issue warnings for severe weather events, and study long-term climate changes.
