Explain the difference between a radiosonde and a rawinsonde.
Both are small instruments suspended below a balloon that collect upper-air data. A radiosonde collects data only about pressure, temperature, and relative humidity, whereas a rawinsonde additionally collects observations about winds aloft (wind speed and direction).
