What is a sensitive weather tool sent high aloft a balloon called?
Finnish Vaisala sondes have 60 metres of string on an unwinder attached to the sonde. This acts like a “sea anchor” while aloft, stabilising the balloon train in turbulent air, and whichs gets the sonde away from the balloon after release both to protect the balloon from the sonde aerial, and to ensure that the sonde is passing through air undisturbed by what can be a large spherical object- the balloon.
