MODEL RELEASED. Weather balloon launch. Technicians checking equipment before a weather balloon launch. The weather balloon will carry meteorological instruments into the Earth's atmosphere. The instruments will measure temperature,pressure,humidity and other atmospheric conditions and transmit their data to a base station via radio transmitters. Balloon launches generally take place in the winter when west to east winds allow meteorologists to accurately predict a balloon's flight path and landing site.
