Albuquerque Balloon Festival

Radiometrics is proud to once again support the City of Albuquerque and the International Balloon Fiesta with our precision profiling system. Our permanent installations, mobile units, and event-specific Data-as-a-Service options empower operators with access to detailed atmospheric profiles, extending from the surface up to 16 km. These profiles include real-time data on wind behavior, atmospheric stability, and water vapor content, ensuring that balloon operators can make well-informed, tactical decisions to enhance the safety and efficiency of their operations.

This year, we’re excited to incorporate high-quality wind information from our partners at NRG Systems through the ZX 300 Wind LiDAR. The integration of this cutting-edge technology further elevates the precision of our SkyCast system, providing operators with even more accurate and reliable data, tailored for the dynamic needs of large-scale events like the Balloon Fiesta.

Our system is designed not only to support the immediate safety and efficiency of balloon operations but also to offer a long-term solution for monitoring and analyzing atmospheric conditions. With the ability to predict fire movement and offer real-time updates, SkyCast becomes an invaluable asset for event planners, providing a deeper understanding of environmental factors that can affect event outcomes.

As we continue to innovate in the realm of weather technology, we are excited to bring these advancements to Albuquerque and beyond, offering unmatched support to ensure the success and safety of events worldwide.
