Introduction
In operation with GFE (L) 1 Secondary Radar (also named L Band Radar), GTS1 digital radiosonde can
measure the atmospheric temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind direction and wind velocity from groundup to an altitude of 30,000m. In 2001, GTS1 came into use in some upper air stations as the new generation upper air sounding system in China.Up to now, in China, there are 80 GTS1-L Band Secondary Radar Upper-air Stations.
