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.
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.
The DFM-17 is one of the smallest and lightest radiosondes in the world. It is used worldwide by well-known weather services and research institutes. The DFM-17 sets standards in accuracy and sustainability.
The suitable sounding system for every application: for mobile use, for office applications or for simultaneous data processing of measurement data from several radiosondes.
With our software, you can visualise measurment data and automatically create reports in tabular form and diagrams and send them directly. Our management software enables the management and monitoring of multiple ground stations.
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.
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.
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.
