New UASS Groundstation Model

GRAW (Germany), a specialist in Upper Air Soundings, has expanded its range of products by adding an integrated ruggedized groundstation. This new compact model GS-B can run completely on battery and be operated under all weather conditions. The rugged design and mobility makes it perfectly suited for military applications or research campaigns.

The GS-B is compatible with the widely used DFM-09 radiosondes which were rated as a top performer in the recent WMO intercomparison. DFM-09 radiosondes are known for being the lightest on the market (90 g, ready to fly) and allowing cost savings through the use of smaller balloons and less gas.

The new meteorological software package GRAWMET 5 supports the GS-B as well as all other GRAW groundstation models. GRAWMET 5 offers enhanced functionality and a modern and flexible user interface.
