What the meteorologist and weather balloon are doing
The meteorologist stands in an open field while carefully letting the large balloon rise. Her outdoor clothing helps protect her while she works in changing weather. The balloon carries equipment that can collect information from high above the ground, while instruments at the station support the observation of atmospheric conditions.
Interesting facts about weather balloons
Weather balloons expand as they rise because the surrounding air becomes thinner. Their instruments can measure temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind conditions, helping meteorologists understand how the atmosphere is changing. Information gathered at different heights can improve forecasts made for people on the ground.
