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 weather instrument Carries weather instruments aloft to about 30000's meters?

A weather balloon carries weather instruments, such as a radiosonde, aloft to about 30,000 meters. As the balloon ascends, the instruments collect data on temperature, humidity, and pressure, transmitting the information back to the ground for weather forecasting and research.


What is the weather balloon unit?

A weather balloon unit is a package of equipment that typically includes a balloon, a radiosonde (instrument to measure various weather parameters), a parachute, and sometimes a radar reflector. This unit is used to collect weather data by releasing the balloon into the atmosphere, where it ascends and transmits information back to the ground station.

What does a weather balloon do?

A weather balloon is used to collect data about the atmosphere at various altitudes. It is equipped with instruments to measure temperature, humidity, and air pressure as it ascends into the atmosphere. The collected data helps meteorologists make weather predictions and study atmospheric patterns.


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.


How long can a weather balloon stay in the air before it descends back to the ground?

A weather balloon can stay in the air for several hours to a few days before descending back to the ground. The exact duration depends on factors such as the size of the balloon, the altitude it reaches, and weather conditions.
