Radio sounding
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008330
A method of remotely sensing atmospheric properties, such as temperature, humidity, and wind, by analyzing the propagation of radio waves through the atmosphere. This technique often involves launching a radiosonde, a balloon-borne instrument package that transmits data back to a ground station. Radio soundings provide vertical profiles of atmospheric conditions.
