InterMet Systems

The roll-out of the iMet-2000 (TRS) continues in 2009 with 12 systems installed, including three Alaska locations (King Salmon Island, Nome and Fairbanks). The iMet-2000 is replacing the National Weather Service upper-air network, with 102 systems scheduled for completion in 2010.

The new iMet-3050 sounding system is getting a great response from customers with six systems delivered since March. The 3050 is a synoptic-grade ground station at a price that anyone can afford. The system can be permanently installed or used as an easily transportable mobile device for field research.

The low-cost, ultra-portable iMet-3150 has been purchased by three universities for research and classroom work. The 3150 uses a hand-held receiver to track soundings to over 50 km slant range and is ideal for boundary layer work and calibration of remote sensors. The system is compatible with InterMet's iMet-1 radiosondes and uses the same iMetOS operating system found on all of InterMet ground stations. Please contact us for more information about this exciting new approach to atmospheric soundings.

The iMet-3200 sounding system was released in July and will be installed at five arctic sites before the end of the year. The 3200 is built by InterMet Africa and uses the new iMet-2 403 MHz radiosonde. The iMet-2 is setting the pace for high performance synoptic observations at low cost and if you think you are paying too much your radiosondes, please contact us for more information.
