What types of data do weather balloons gather?
The balloon itself usually contains devices to measure temperature, pressure and humidity.
What is a weather balloon?
Weather balloons typically carry a thermometer (to measure air temperature), a psychrometer (to measure humidity), a barometer (to measure air pressure) and a transmitter (to send the information through radio waves to equipment at the ground so we will know what the instruments are measuring up in the air)
What will change the size of the weather balloon as it rises?
The pressure of the air inside it. The higher the balloon rises, the lower the outside air-pressure. With less pressure outside, the balloon expands because of the pressure of the air inside it. Eventually, the balloon bursts, and scientists recover the instruments when they fall to earth.
What is a name for a device that is sent up into the air to measure information about the weather?
weather balloon
What weather balloon device for measuring air pressure temperature and relative humidity is called a?
A+ Radiosonde
What is an instrument carried aloft by a weather balloon to measure upper level pressure temperature humidity and winds?
Radiosonde is the general term.

What is a weather balloon job?
A weather balloon gathers information on temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and wind speed.

A balloon carrying weather instruments is released at Earth?
Temperature, Pressure, and humidity.
How do you measure pressure and what effect does it have on our weather?
on a pressure meter it has no effect
What is the weather balloon unit?
there is no unit. Basically they track the balloon over a day and measure the speed it travelled to find wind speed.
Why are weather balloons partially infated before they're released into the atmosphere?
As you rise in elevation, the pressure around you decreases. This lower pressure would cause the balloon to expand, and burst if it was inflated to much originally. By starting it off only partly filled, it will expand to a normal size and not explode.
Does a Weather balloon change size?
Yes, it does, due to the decreasing pressure at higher altitudes.
What weather does millibars measure?
A millibar is a unit of pressure most commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure.
