3 Terms and Definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Meteorological baloon

Various types of balloons used in meteorological observation.

Note. Based on their purpose, weather balloons are mainly divided into conventional weather balloons and dual-mode weather balloons. Conventional weather balloons have a single-sphere structure, while dual-mode weather balloons have a double-layered sphere structure.

Composed of an outer sphere and an inner sphere, it is mainly used as a carrier for high-altitude meteorological instruments.

[Source. GB/T 37467-2019, 4.3.4, with modifications]

Equipment used for receiving and processing radio signals from radiosondes in satellite navigation and positioning radiosonde systems on the ground.

3.3 sampling value

Measurements obtained at a specific sampling rate.
