there is no unit. Basically they track the balloon over a day and measure the speed it travelled to find wind speed.

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.


Why is the weather balloon drawn so tall and thin?

To enable the gases inside the balloon to expand which they do when the balloon reaches high altitudes. At this point the balloon becomes much larger.


What is it called when a weather balloon device for measuring air pressuretempretureand relative humidity?

A weather balloon device used for measuring air pressure, temperature, and relative humidity is called a radiosonde. This instrument is typically attached to a weather balloon and ascends into the atmosphere, transmitting data back to ground stations for meteorological analysis. Radiosondes play a crucial role in weather forecasting and atmospheric research.


Does a Weather balloon change size?

Yes, a weather balloon expands as it rises through the atmosphere due to the decreasing air pressure. Once it reaches a certain altitude, the balloon will have expanded as much as it can and eventually burst.


Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?

Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain

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.
