It is in this dome thit the radar which tracks the weather balloons is housed. The balloons are filled with hydrogen gas in the kwer.part of the domed edifice, and then released every a.m. and again at 4 p.m. The balloons ascend to a height of 100,000 feet before bursting and parachuting a transmitter called a radiosonde gently back to earth. The transmitter relays back information on wind direction and speed plus the relative humidity present in the upper atmosphere during the balloons ascent. It is from this data that jet aircraft pilots know wind speed and direction higher ievels. - As he stood by a model of a radiosonde ; equator. said this Chapman system' will soon be functiomal at night as well as in the day through utilizing infrared devices for the night work.
