A radiosonde is a device attached to a weather balloon to observe upper-air conditions such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction and wind speed. The data collected are used in daily weather forecasting, prediction of events including heavy rainfall, aircraft safety operations and climate change monitoring. The supply plan calls for 48,000 radiosondes a year over five years, along with 60 receivers, with deliveries scheduled to begin sequentially from around February 2027. The release said the project is intended to help strengthen India's meteorological observation system and improve its response capability for weather-related disasters. The India Meteorological Department is the country's national weather agency. In Japan, a consolidated subsidiary is a company whose earnings and assets are included in the parent group's financial statements. USD/JPY: 159.00. © Copyright 2026 IBTimes JP. All rights reserved.
