The history of constant-level balloons as observational platforms for atmospheric research is reviewed. Recent experience in using simple tetroons with Global Positioning System transponders for long-range tracking during the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) is presented, along with an overview of the results of the ASTEX/Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange Lagrangian strategy experiments. Progress in balloon materials and tracking capabilities is discussed, and a design is presented for an economical, lightweight “smart balloon” for use in future Lagrangian strategy, atmospheric chemistry experiments.
