Meteorologists
An inexpensive method of ob
taining temperature, humidity,
and pressure readings at altitudes
up to more than 5000 feet has
been devised by Dr. Hans Neu
berger, professor of meteorology.
The set-up utilizes a captive
balloon to which is attached a
modified chronometric radiosonde
and an electric buzzer. The bal
loon is moored with a line of linen
or nylon thread, or any other suit
able string. The buzzer is cut into
the mooring line near the captive
balloon and is wired to the mete
orosonde. It sets up strong vibra
tions that are conducted through
the mooring line to. the ground.
At the base of the mooring line,
the signals can be received with
the aid of a phonograph repro
ducer fastened to the string and
connected to stethoscope ear
pieces by rubber tubing, or a
crystal pickup can be used for
automatic recording. The system
has several advantages over other
methods, Dr. Neuberger explain
ed.
In instruments employing the
direct recording method, records
are not immediately available and
a possible failure of the instru
ment to record therefore cannot
be detected until the balloon has
landed. The standard radiosonde,
because of heavy battery require
ments for the radio pj,gnal circuit,
is ordinarily too heavy for ascents
with a captive balloon. Likewise,
the transmission, of electrical sig
nals through a mooring line ne
cessitates the use of metal wire
which adds to the dead weight
of the balloon.
