Constant-density balloons have been used for years vertical air motions. The response to only one such si as tracers of air motion in the atmosphere. A balloon is wave was published. For a vertical sine wave filled with a lighter-than-air gas until the skin is rigid nitude 1000 ft and period 15 min, the amplit and a superpressure is attained that will cause the the balloon trajectory was 15% low and the ballo balloon to float at a desired height in the atmosphere, led the air motion by~ 20. Vergeiner and Li When the balloon is displaced from this equilibrium analyzed the balloon's response by solving an eq height by a vertical wind gust, buoyant forces will of motion for the balloon. In these two analyses attempt to return it to the equilibrium height. Angell dynamic buoyancy and acceleration drag force et al.(1968) have flown balloons in the boundary layer appear on the right-hand side of Eq.(1) below and detected vertical air motions having periods on neglected. the order of 30 min. Constant-level balloons were used Angell et al. and others have recently begu by Booker and Cooper (1965) and Vergeiner and Lilly analyze the vertical fluctuations of balloon pos (1970) to study atmospheric waves that form to the in order to derive the statistics of air motions lee of mountain ranges. Vertical wave motions having balloon motions. However, the balloon does no magnitudes of several meters per second and periods perfectly to vertical air motions. The equatio greater than a few minutes were discovered. Booker motion for the vertical speed of several types of ballo and Cooper used a digital computer to simulate the was solved for vertical sinusoidal wind motions h vertical motion of a balloon responding to sinusoidal a range of magnitudes between 0.1 and 2.0 m
