Using Weather Balloons for Scientific Research and Education
In this informative episode, Brandon Pearson, the Director of NearSpace Education, explains the myriad uses of weather balloons and how they contribute to our understanding of the world around us. Join us on a journey of scientific exploration as we uncover the invaluable data these balloons provide. Once airborne, weather balloons become invaluable tools for gathering crucial data. They carry a variety of instruments and sensors that measure temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed at different altitudes. These measurements help us study atmospheric patterns, climate changes, and weather forecasting with greater accuracy.
