Summary[edit]

Description

The National Weather Service Office in Gaylord, Michigan is staffed by a group of dedicated meteorologists, electronics, administrative, and information technology employees who work rotating shifts providing weather information to the public 24 hours a day. This photo shows our Upper Air building which is used for weather balloon launches twice daily. These launches are done simultaneously with 69 other launches all over the continental United States to obtain wind speed and direction, temperature, dew point, and pressure information in the atmosphere from the ground up to about 100,000 feet. This year our Upper Air equipment, which dates back to the 1950s, is being replaced with a state of the art system known as the Radiosonde Replacement system. This new system will use GPS radiosondes to get more accurate data.
