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
