The sonde transmits data every 2 seconds while we track it. The balloon is filled with hydrogen gas (hence why Bureau staff releasing them manually must wear special protective clothing), and rises to a height of about 30 km (3 x the cruising height of an airliner ✈️), expanding as it goes to the size o

Want to know what a (successful!) balloon launch looks like in 56 mph wind gusts? Check out the video below👇 Our weather balloons record very important atmospheric data for our weather models. This balloon will ascend for the next 1.5 hours into the atmosphere before popping and falling back to Earth. The balloon will reach roughly 100,000 feet above the Earth's surface, or about 20 miles! #txwx #nmwx | US National Weather Service Midland Texas
