What Does DWS Stand For?
DWS stands for Dropwindsonde
DWS, or Dropwindsonde, is a meteorological instrument used to collect atmospheric data from various altitudes during flight missions. The device is typically deployed from aircraft and descends through the atmosphere, measuring parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and pressure. The data gathered by dropwindsondes is crucial for weather forecasting, climate research, and the study of severe weather events, contributing valuable insights for meteorologists and researchers in understanding atmospheric dynamics.
