This table lists the location of radiosonde stations in Australia and the dates of the first and last radiosonde observations at those stations during the life of the RAAF Meteorological Service (April 1941 to July 1946). Where no ending date is given the station was in operation in July 1946.
The record of radiosonde observations in the Bureau of Meteorology's National Climate Centre has been used to derive the dates of the beginning and, in two cases, the end of radiosonde observations during this period. Observations have continued at many of the stations listed. The total number of Bureau radiosonde stations operating at present is about 35.
