What Does ODW Stand For?
ODW stands for Omega Dropwindsonde
ODW, or Omega Dropwindsonde, is an advanced meteorological instrument designed to collect atmospheric data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction during its descent through the atmosphere. Deployed from aircraft, the ODW provides critical real-time information that enhances weather forecasting and improves our understanding of atmospheric dynamics, particularly in storm systems and severe weather events. Its reliable data contributes to more accurate predictive models and supports researchers and meteorologists in their analyses.
