The first meteorological sounding was made in 1749 in Glasgow, Scotland, with the raising of a thermometer on a kite. ... It was not until the invention of the balloon in 1873 that it was possible to make measurements to a substantial height. Gay-Lussac ascended to 7 km as early as 1804 to make measurements of the temperature, pressure, and electric fields. 3, record 2, English, - meteorological%20sounding

L'exploration de l'atmosphère en altitude, illustrée pour la première fois [...] en 1647, se poursuit grâce à l'utilisation de cerfs-volants, puis de ballons libres; c'est ainsi que le physicien Jacques Charles réalise le premier sondage météorologique en atmosphère libre le 1er décembre 1783, atteignant une altitude de 3 400 m. Un siècle plus tard, en 1892, deux Français [...] effectuent systématiquement des lancers de ballons-sondes emportant un enregistreur de pression et de température. [...] En 1929, le Français Robert Bureau lance les premières sondes munies d'un petit émetteur; il ajoute ainsi une dimension supplémentaire à l'exploration systématique et quotidienne de l'atmosphère, permettant aux météorologistes de mieux en étudier les mouvements et les processus. 2, record 2, French, - sondage%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique
