Weather Observer Launching a High-Altitude Balloon
A cheerful boy dressed in a pilot uniform stands among fluffy clouds while holding a large weather balloon high above his head. The surrounding sky fills with soft cloud shapes drifting in the background.
What Weather Balloons Do in the Sky
Weather balloons carry compact instrument packages called radiosondes up into the stratosphere to collect vital meteorological data. These specialized latex balloons expand continuously as atmospheric pressure drops, reaching altitudes of over twenty miles before bursting. Sensors inside transmit real-time measurements of pressure, temperature, and humidity directly to weather forecasting centers.
