Attention:
The system is operated by staff from the German weather service (DWD). Scientific co-use is possible according to prior agreement with AWI Logistics and Principal Investigator of the Polarstern Meteorological Observatory (Holger Schmithüsen).
Summary
The radiosonde sounding system gathers meteorological data (pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, position) from a mandatory radiosonde and data from additional sensors like ozonesonde (ozone), cryogenic frostpoint hygrometer (CFH; stratospheric water vapour) and COBALD (aerosol) as well as from ground based sensors (standard humidity chamber, and others)
