More Information
Summary:According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for solar radiation correction in radiosonde temperature measurements, the system comprising a radiosonde having a temperature sensor configured to determine a temperature of the atmosphere at different altitudes, at least one light sensing assembly comprising a light sensor, and a light collector configured to collect light from different solar radiation angles at the different altitudes, and the system further comprising control electronics or a computing device configured to calculate for each altitude a solar radiation correction based on the signal received by the light sensor in order to obtain a corrected temperature reading for each altitude.
