When passing Chilbolton Observatory today or next week you might notice a huge balloon floating above the site there.Scientists from the STFC Chilbolton Observatory and the Universities of Leeds and Reading are arranging an experiment test using gear attached to the tethered balloon to calculate temperature, humidity and wind.The balloon is raised to 4,000ft on the observatory to take measurements of the air beneath, and within the base of low intensity stratocumulus clouds.
