At the Meteorological Technology World Exhibition, Skyfora introduced the StreamSonde RS, the world's first dual-frequency L1/L5 radiosonde.
At the Meteorological Technology World Exhibition, Skyfora unveiled the StreamSonde RS, marking a historic milestone as the world's first dual-frequency L1/L5 radiosonde. This groundbreaking device utilizes multiple GNSS constellations to set new standards in atmospheric data and wind accuracy.
The StreamSonde RS represents a quantum leap in radiosonde technology, combining dual-frequency GNSS capabilities with advanced atmospheric sensors. By leveraging both L1 and L5 frequency bands across multiple satellite constellations (GPS, Galileo, Beidou), the device achieves unprecedented accuracy in position determination and atmospheric measurements.
This innovation significantly improves the quality of upper-air observations, which are critical for numerical weather prediction models and climate research. The enhanced wind profile accuracy and atmospheric data resolution enable meteorological services to improve forecast quality and extend forecast lead times.
The StreamSonde RS demonstrates Skyfora's commitment to pushing the boundaries of atmospheric observation technology, providing the high-quality data needed for next-generation AI weather models and traditional numerical weather prediction systems.
