An aerological sounding balloon is a balloon used to carry radiosondes aloft.
Radiosondes measure atmospheric temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and wind direction from the surface to an altitude of approximately 30,000 meters.
The radiosonde observations are a critical source of meteorological data for weather forecast models.
The NWS radiosonde observations provide atmospheric observations for development of watches, warnings, weather forecasts and aviation support.
The NOAA/NWS publishes 3-hour, 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour upper level atmospheric models for watches, warnings, forecasts, and aviation support.
