Description
This is another special episode for DTE! We joined Dr. Toby Ault's Emergent Climate Risk Lab and Wicked Instruments to launch a weather balloon Canaseraga, NY. The balloon reached a height of about 100,000 feet. It reached the highest parts of our atmosphere and photos the balloon took are incredible. The balloon held sensors that captured data on humidity, pollutants, temperature and more. The hope is that by launching more of these balloons in the future we can improve weather forecasts. Toby describes the project, the motivation behind it and future work. I also captured reactions during the day as we chased the balloon across the state.
