GRUAN Technical Note 7 (GRUAN-TN-7) published with title "Rigging Recommendations For Dual Radiosonde Soundings"

Full description of GRUAN-TN-7

Abstract

This document gives a recommendation for the payload configuration for performing dual soundings with two radiosondes. General guidelines are specified which aides the operator to prepare a payload for dual soundings. The recommendation is partly based on the results of Vaisala RS92-RS41 dual soundings performed at Lindenberg observatory using various configurations of the payload. In addition, general rules and guidelines are proposed for rigs with multiple-device payloads.
