As a global leader in environmental and industrial measurement and a pioneer in its field, Vaisala is committed to research on climate change by providing the best possible measurement tools. In response to demand from the international scientific community, Vaisala is developing a reference radiosonde, an important instrument to measure climate change and the prototype version of the reference sonde is now available.

According to Vaisala’s press release, the instrument is based on Vaisala RS92 radiosonde sensors and DRYCAP@Frostpoint Sensor VRF100, which is capable of measuring extremely low humidity levels. The benefits of Vaisala's reference sonde compared to the current measurements include ease of use and cost efficiency, thus enabling more frequent climatological soundings.
