How do weather services get sky conditions above the surface?
It's easy enough to establish measurement stations on the surface to measure
wind, temperature, visibility, etc., but what is the normal way for meteorologists to measure these things aloft? Do they depend on PIREPs, or expendable/recoverable probes and balloons, or satellites, or what?
