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?

I would a55ume that they have planes in the air at some point and the
aircraft report the ceiling height of teh clouds and then they estimate
windspeed from observaton stations on the ground.
I'm just guessing. I knew a weather observer once.
