運用高空汽球進行偵測颶風(圖片來源:UCAR)一個美、法合作的研究計畫中,研究人員計畫升空一組特製的熱汽球,以在非洲沿岸與大西洋上方平流層置放約300個偵測組。這種俗稱為「飄移式氣球觀測組」的設備,在未來6個月內,將收集這個美國超級颶風生成地帶的大氣資料。而第一具熱氣球己於4天前在非洲尼日的津德升空。

High Flying Balloons Track Atlantic Hurricanes in Formation
BOULDER, Colorado, September 1, 2006 (ENS)
In a unique collaboration, U.S. and French researchers are launching large, specialized balloons into the stratosphere to drop nearly 300 instrument packages over wide swaths of Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next month, the packages will gather detailed data from critical regions of the atmosphere where some of the most dangerous U.S. hurricanes develop. The first launch of a balloon with its instruments, called a driftsonde, took place at Zinder, Niger, on August 28.
