Extended Network for Acquiring Meteorological Data and Observations – RADOME Network

Throughout France, Météo-France has a network of 554 observation stations, the Radome network, which provides the establishment with temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind and diffusion measurements. Maintaining operational conditions is our priority.
