Radiosonde
notes: label: Description
content: The U.S. Weather Bureau transferred this radiosonde to the Smithsonian in 1962. The metal frame contains elements for temperature (bimetallic) and pressure (aneroid), and a clock-driven selector switch. An inscription reads "10818." The design reflects ideas of Karl Otto Heinrich Lange (1903-1973), a German pioneer in aviation and atmospheric science.
