Question

Which of the following is not a measurement taken by a radiosonde?

A. atmospheric composition
B. atmospheric pressure
C. wind speed
D. wind direction

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Atmospheric composition is not a measurement taken by a radiosonde. A radiosonde is an instrument used to measure different atmospheric parameters.

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

A) Atmospheric composition

Step-by-step explanation:

A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry device transmitted into the environment normally by a weather balloon that regulates several atmospheric parameters and sends them by radio to a ground receiver. The radiosonde is a small, expandable device unit that is recessed below a six-foot-wide balloon inflated with hydrogen or helium. As the radiosonde stands at about 1,000 feet/minute, sensors on the radiosonde measure forms of pressure, temperature, and related moisture.
