Development of a new balloon-borne videosonde system for the direct microphysical measurement of typhoon clouds

在这项研究中，我们的目标是开发一种新的球载视频探空仪，即使在台风等恶劣条件下也可以发射。为了减少成本和时间，我们将测试设备部署到一些已经进行的观测项目中（例如，由Nakakita教授，京都大学，JAXA研究基金等进行的冲绳Baiu野外活动）。视频探空仪传感器的主体尺寸缩小，能够发射到台风云中。新开发的充气气球在强风中爆炸的危险性很小。不久的将来，将利用这种新仪器进行现场微物理观测。

In this study, our goal is the development of a new balloon-borne videosonde that we can launch even in a severe condition such as a typhoon. We deployed testing equipments into some observation projects that has been conducted (e.g. Okinawa Baiu field campaign by Prof. Nakakita, Kyoto University, JAXA research grant, etc) in order to reduce cost and time. The downsizing of the main body of videosonde sensor came to be able to launch into the typhoon clouds. Newly developed fleshy rubber balloon would have little risk to explode in the strong wind. The in-situ microphysical observation using this new instrument will be carried out in the near future.
