You found a radiosonde!
Radiosondes are meteorological instruments used to sample the upper atmosphere, providing data that supports atmospheric weather models, and hence weather predictions. They are launched all around the world at regular (often 12 hourly) intervals, and land in all sorts of places!
This page allows you to report the recovery of a radiosonde, which assists:
- Other radiosonde hunters, so they know not to go looking for a radiosonde that has already been recovered.
- Weather bureaus, so they know the spread of radiosonde landings from a particular launch site.
Follow through the steps below to report what you have found. Recovery reports will appear on sondehub.org - if you make a mistake, submit another report, the latest will appear on the map. Contact us if you have issues with this page.
