Automated Launching of Balloonsonde
Every day thousands of balloonsondes are launched worldwide. When successful, the launches reach altitudes as great as 40 km, capturing and transmitting weather 
information from locations around the world. Currently, most balloonsonde launches are on land, despite the fact that most of the earth’s surface is covered with water and most large-scale weather systems develop over oceans.
ADA Technologies developed a simplified, low-cost, easily transportable, automated balloonsonde launch system that makes it practical to conduct successful launches from commercial ships, providing researchers with easy and affordable access to accurate and up-to-date weather data throughout the world.
