"The most usual observations are of successive positions of the balloon located by radio direction-finding or radio-navigation equipment, giving trajectory, wind speed, and wind direction. Instrumentation can also be added to the balloon to sense and transmit pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and other meteorological elements.  2, record 2, English, - transosonde

Physical basis of remote sounding. A sounding is a vertical profile of atmospheric temperature, moisture or some other parameter. Soundings, including measurements of total water vapour content, total ozone, cloud height, cloud amount, surface temperature, etc., can be obtained from remote measurements of spectral radiance through carefully selected channels, often in the infrared (IR) or microwave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.  6, record 3, English, - meteorological%20remote%20sounding

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.

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 7, French, - sondage%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique
