Tethersonde

A Tethersonde is a meteorological instrument used for measuring atmospheric profiles of temperature, humidity, and wind at various altitudes. It consists of a lightweight package that is suspended from a tether, like a balloon or a kite, allowing it to ascend into the atmosphere while remaining connected to the ground. The main components of a Tethersonde system typically include: 1. **Sensors**: These measure temperature, humidity, and wind speed/direction.
