They provide valuable input for computer forecast models, local data for meteorologists to make forecasts and predict storms, and data for research. Weather balloons are the primary source of data above the ground. These instruments are fixed and reused, saving the government money. About 20% of the 75,000 radiosondes sent up each year in the US are found and returned. Each radiosonde contains a mailing bag and instructions on what to do if you find one. The radiosonde is powered by a small battery.Ī parachute, attached to the end of the balloon, allows the radiosonde to fall slowly to the ground at speeds less than 22 mph after the balloon bursts. By tracking the position of the radiosonde, we can also calculate wind speed and wind direction. These instruments will often endure temperatures as cold as -139☏ (-95☌), relative humidities from 0% to 100%, air pressures only a few thousandths of what is found on the Earth's surface, ice, rain, thunderstorms, and wind speeds of almost 200 mph! A transmitter on the radiosonde sends the data back to tracking equipment on the ground every one to two seconds. in diameter! An instrument called a radiosonde is attached to the balloon to measure pressure, temperature and relative humidity as it ascends up into the atmosphere.

The sides are about 0.051 mm thick before release and will be only 0.0025 mm thick at typical bursting altitudes! The balloons, which start out measuring about 6 ft. Weather balloons, which are made of latex or synthetic rubber (neoprene), are filled with either hydrogen or helium. /rebates/2fbook-search2ftitle2fweather-pop-up-book2f&. The balloon flights last for around 2 hours, can drift as far as 125 miles away, and rise up to over 100,000 ft. Over 3, 000, 000 happy customers.Twice a day, every day of the year, weather balloons are released simultaneously from almost 900 locations worldwide! This includes 92 released by the National Weather Service in the US and its territories. Critters scurry in search of food, while others hibernate in wait for warmer weather.
