Windsond Radio Receiver RR3 available
The RR3 radio receiver with Ethernet connector is now available. It is similar to the RR2 radio receiver, with a weather proof design to ease operations in inclement weather. You can find more information if you follow this link: RR3 Radio Receiver
Swarmsonde is in the news
Researchers from Penn State University used Sparv’s novel instrument “Swarmsonde” for a research project earlier this year. The purpose was to capture thermodynamic data within and around a tornado. The data obtained will help explain how tornadoes are formed. This new instrument can measure up to 32 sondes at the same time and stay in the air for more than an hour. Click on Swarmsonde for specifications about the sounding tool.

First delivery of Sparv Sensors
Great news!
The first Sparv Sensors system is now delivered to a happy customer! Sparv Sensors is a great addition to the market of atmospheric measurement equipment. Our developers did a great job to make this happen.

Windsond on Hot Air Ballooning events
The miniature radiosonde Windsond with its small size and nice features makes it attractive to many markets. For example, last fall Windsond was used on the Hot Air Ballooning event: “Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta”. The organisation was very pleased with the equipment. The Chief Meteorologist at the event, Mr Brad Temeyer: “I really enjoyed using the Windsond at balloon events during marginal situations. Personally, the data provides the confidence in making a safety conscience decision.”

All the best,

First test flight with Sparv Sensors
Finally! Last Friday, Sparv went to Uppsala for testing of the new UAV sensor equipment Sparv Sensors. We are now one step closer to shipping the system to our customers.
Exciting times ahead!
