从毛里求斯国际探空系统对比看全球探空技术的发展

Development of Upper Air Sounding Technology

文章介绍了2005年2月7～25日在毛里求斯举行的由芬兰、日本、美国、法国、英国、德国、瑞士6个国家的厂商生产的探空系统参加的探空系统国际对比试验，本次对比试验堪称高精度探空系统对比。文中主要介绍分析了这些探空系统技术结构和性能特点。这些探空系统具有体积小、重量轻、信号接收和数据处理自动化、通信频道窄、采用GPS技术测风、传感器体积小、响应速度快的技术特点，体现了全球探空技术发展趋势。

An intercomparison of radiosondes was held in Mauritius in February 2005. Manufactures from Finland, Japan, USA, France, UK, Germany, and Switzerland brought their products. It is in fact an international intercomparison of high-accuracy and high-technological sounding systems. These sounding systems adopt GPS wind-finding technology and have the features of slight volume, light weight, automatic signal-receiving and data-processing, and narrow communication channel. The sensors of these systems have distinctly small volume and high responding speed. In general, the technological features embody the development of global sounding technology. Analysis and introduction are made of the technological structures and functions of these sounding system.
