NERC BORTAS Aircraft Campaign: May 2010
http://nerc-bortas.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
NERC BORTAS Aircraft Campaign. Emissions from forest fires in North America are transported across the Atlantic Ocean and they may affect the air quality in the UK and other parts of Europe. For this reason understanding how the chemicals emitted change as they are transported away from source regions is important for UK scientists. The NERC funded BORTAS project aims to find out more about how the chemicals emitted from biomass burning interact and change as they disperse. Friday, 21 May 2010.

Emily's Arctic Adventure: February 2013
http://arctic-emily.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. Ozonesondes with Met Tech Jane. Ozonesondes. These fly on a weather balloon and collect ozone measurements periodically as they rise. The data is sent back to earth by an antenna. Usually, these are buddies with a radiosonde, which measures pressure, temperature, relative humidity, etc. They are taped together, put on the same balloon, and all the data gets sent back to the computer together in real time. If you squeeze just one bubble, it's pretty easy to see where it is.
