Radiosondes, Sounding Systems and Software

Graw Radiosondes is one of the pioneers in modern meteorology.
We have been manufacturing radiosondes for meteorological balloon ascents since 1938 and supply the necessary equipment.

What our radiosondes are used for

Our radiosondes are meteorological measuring instruments for measuring temperature, air pressure, humidity and wind data in higher air layers. They are launched into the atmosphere with a balloon and transmit the measurement data to ground stations via radio. Meteorologists use the collected data to create vertical profiles of the atmosphere. This is of crucial importance for weather forecasts and atmospheric research.

Graw Radiosondes is a member of the Noris Group.

High altitude lidar for atmospheric measurements

The first commercial lidar system

High accuracy 3D-wind and temperature profiles up to 100 km

Graw lidarCube is the first commercial lidar system capable of generating wind and temperature profiles throughout the entire atmosphere. The lidarCube's small and rugged design, great value, and extensive software suite make it ideal for large synoptic network installations, while its unique capabilities enable researchers and the space and defense communities to enhance their atmospheric profiles.

We support SondeHub

SondeHub is the world's most popular radiosonde tracking network. It is aimed at a wide range of stakeholders, including researchers and radio amateurs. 

SondeHub helps with the recovery of disused radiosondes and thus reduces the environmental impact of radiosoundings.

National Eclipse Ballooning Project

One of the main goals of the National Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEBP) in the USA is to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education through hands-on experience and the involvement of students in all aspects of a radiosonde ascent: from planning and building the balloon payloads to conducting the flights and analysing the data collected during an eclipse. 

We support the project with radiosondes and ground stations for the ascents.
