Description

Tethered balloon system flights carrying aerosol instruments vertically through the atmospheric column to generate profiles of particle concentrations with altitude. Pseudo vertical columns are constructed by pairing altitude-time measurements with concurrent aerosol data.

Typical Equipment

  • tethered balloon system
  • balloon-mounted POPS instruments
  • altitude measurement devices

Output Measurements

  • vertical aerosol profiles
  • altitude-resolved concentrations
