Storm report

Weather Balloon

· by Jimmy Deguara

Large balloon filled with helium or hydrogen that carries a radiosonde (weather instrument) aloft to measure temperature pressure and humidity as the balloon rises through the air. It is attached to a small parachute so that when the balloon inevitably breaks, the radiosonde doesn’t hurtle back to earth dangerously quickly.
