Automatic Sounding System

Automatic sounding system is capable of detecting automatically in an unattended way atmospheric temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction from ground to the height of 36km within the range of 200km. Loaded with up to 60 radiosondes, it can perform upper-air detection for 60 times continuously by presetting or remote control, providing meteorological data for weather prediction and major mission support.

Description

Automatic Upper-Air Sounding System

Automatic high-altitude detection systems operate in frigid regions

Features

Based on the experience and mature technologies of GPZ1 automatic sounding system, GPZ2 uses a robot to complete radiosonde checking, loading and energizing and balloon inflating and releasing, which realizes intelligent and unmanned upper-air meteorological detection completely.

Application Fields

Upper-air sounding stations require significant labor investment, particularly in remote, sparsely populated, or climatically sensitive regions such as mountainous areas, deserts, and island territories - where gaps in the upper-air observing network are most severe. The Automatic Upper-Air Sounding System dramatically reduces the manpower requirements for these sites and expands the viable deployment footprint for upper-air observing networks.

Why Choose Our Automatic Upper-Air Sounding System

Zero Manpower operation. The fully robotic workflow removes the need for on-site meteorological staff, which cuts operational costs a lot over the station lifecycle, i mean, a lot less overhead.

High operational continuity, because you get 60 radiosondes pre-loaded, so the system can run as many as 60 back-to-back sounding missions, without someone sitting there doing manual work, right. It keeps the data collection going without interruption.

Proven robotic tech, this is built on mature robotic arm technology, with solid reliability for automated handling, inspection, inflation and balloon release stages. Not just theory, it's the usual dependable stuff.

Flexible launch control. It supports both time-scheduled autonomous launch and real-time remote command triggering, so it can match different operational needs and situations, even when plans shift.

Wide deployment adaptability, the unit is meant for remote areas, mountainous regions, deserts, and islands where regular staffed stations aren't practical anymore.

Comprehensive atmospheric measurement, it simultaneously measures temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction with high accuracy through the full troposphere and into the lower stratosphere.

Customization Support

We can do customized system configuration based on different operational requirements, like, for various setups. Sometimes it involves a bit of integration and a new way of arranging things, include:
