A radiosonde is a type of weather balloon equipped with meteorological instruments that are used to measure various atmospheric parameters as it ascends through the atmosphere. Typically, it collects data on temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction. The radiosonde is attached to a balloon filled with helium or hydrogen, which allows it to rise to altitudes of up to 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) or more.
