Yes - Model ARL-9000 and ARL-9100 -Automated Radiosonde Launcher
The Models ARL-9000 and ARL-9100 Automated Radiosonde Launchers (ARL) are low-cost systems that permit unattended upper air observations.They are robust and fault-tolerant systems that automate radiosonde observations. They are compatible with a variety of commercial radiosondes. The ARL is ideal for remote locations, manpower limited operations, and mobile requirements. The ARL takes a manually intensive task and reduces it to a periodic maintenance routine. Because the ARL automates every step in the launch process it frees personnel to perform more important value-added tasks, and virtually eliminates human errors. At remote sites, it reduces exposure of personnel to hazardous and/or undesirable environmental conditions.
