OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE APPLICATION OF RADIOZONDONS UNLIMITED AIRCRAFT FOR OBTAINING METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION
The methods and basic technical means of obtaining meteorological information, their characteristics and parameters for the release and maintenance of the radiosonde in free fli ght mode are presented. The mai n characteristi cs of the mai n types of unmanned aer i al vehicles (UAVS) are analyzed, their capabilities for the transportation of radiosondes are determined. A technically and economically feasible method for obtaining reliable meteorological information by sensing the atmosphere in the given areas and altitudes using existing meteorological complexes (MRK) by delivering radiosondes on unmanned aerial vehicles to the poi nt of sensi ng i s proposed.
