Respuesta :

A radiosonde is an instrument carried by balloon or other means to various levels of the atmosphere and transmitting measurements by radio. So yes it can be used to measure upper air waves.

Answer:

Radiosonde is used to measure the upper temperature

Explanation:

Radiosonde: Instrument which is carried by a balloon through the atmosphere, which is attached with devices to measure one or several meteorological variables that is the pressure, temperature, humidity, etc, and it is provided with a radio transmitter for sending this information from the atmosphere to the observing station.

It is not necessary that radiosonde has to be  attached to a balloon it can even fixed to a slow moving pilot less aircraft, or the instrument itself can be designed in such a way  to be dropped from an aircraft or rocket.

This instrument can be used to measure only up-to a height of about 35km from the ground level

Observed Parameters:- Observed parameters include the following:-

  • Atmospheric pressure
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Horizontal wind

Why there is a need of Radiosonde?

  1. For the measurements of the vertical structure of temperature and relative humidity  for environmental pollution studies.
  2. Water vapor fields in the troposphere
