Abstract

The paper presents a brief summary of the history of radiosonde observations as well as the current state of the network of these observations in Russia: technical means, network operation organization, quality control, data archiving etc. Possibilities to increase the accuracy of measurements performed at the upper-air network using Russian radiosondes are discussed, including the use of other sounding techniques.
