新型探空充球器研制与使用

Development and operation of new sounding ball charger

充球器承担地面对气象气球进行充灌的任务,是进行高空气象观测必不可少的工具之一。在充灌不同型号的气象气球时,需要配上不同配重以达到高空气象观测业务需要的升速。针对目前高空气象观测的充球器业务使用中的问题而研制的新型探空充球器,于2014年3月~6月在分别代表我国北方和南方典型站的内蒙古锡林浩特探空站和广东阳江探空站进行了试验使用,试验表明新型探空充球器具有很好的适用性、实用性和安全性,有着广阔的业务应用前景。

The ball charger takes the task of filling weather balloon on the surface,which is one of the essential tools for high-altitude meteorological observation.When filling different type of balloons,different weights need to be taken in order to meet the requirement of speed up in meteorological sounding.Based on the current scarcity during the operation,a new type of ball charger is developed.From March to June in 2014,the Xilinhot and Yangjiang upper-air station in Mongolia were selected to test,which represented the north and south area.The test shows that the new ball charger has the features of good applicability,practicality and safety with broad business prospects.
