With the weather balloon into the thunderstorm
Dr. Christian Rolf will launch balloon probes in the near vicinity of thunderstorms for his research as part of the Helmholtz project MOSES. Using measurement data on temperature, pressure, humidity or aerosol particles, he wants to find out what influence thunderstorms have on the climate in the long term. The first test balloon has now been successfully launched from the rooftop of the IEK-7.
