The upper-air observation is one of the foundations of meteorological operation. The synoptic rawinsonde observing program is designed for the real-time operational needs for weather analysis and forecasts, and provides data of upper-air observations for the purposes of the research and climatological applications, and international exchanges. The developed course of the data processing system for the new sounding system is described. The request for the soft system and ideas for the design are emphasized. The significance for the application is illustrated.
