18-Dec-2025 New ISO standard advances accuracy of global climate observations National Research Council of Science & Technology The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has succeeded in having its radiosonde performance evaluation technology—used for one of the key instruments in weather and climate observation—adopted as an international standard. The ISO 8932-1 test method, newly approved as an international standard, defines detailed criteria and procedures for calibrating the measurement errors of radiosonde temperature sensors under upper-atmospheric conditions. Using this method, calibration errors can be maintained within 0.1 °C even in environments reaching altitudes of up to 40 km and temperatures as low as –85 °C. Funder Ministry of Science and ICT
