Weather Balloon’s/Radiosonde

EXTENSIBLEINEXTENSIBLE  Most balloons are extensible or they stretch. The volume of the balloon increases until it explodes at a set altitude.  A balloon that doesn’t stretch it will ascend until the buoyancy is balanced with the weight of the balloon and payload and maintains a constant altitude.

Pilot Balloons Sounding Balloons No payload or instruments so they are smaller weighing around g. Can carry a variety of instruments weighing 600 to 1800 g. Kinds of weather balloons Even larger balloons are available for special payloads.

Pilot Balloons Used for wind direction and speed they are tracked by theodolites or radar.

Radiosonde

Pressure Sensor (BAROCAP)

Temperature Sensor (THERMOCAP)

Humidity Sensor (HUMICAP)
