Are weather balloons being used for smuggling? My cost-benefit analysis for Belsat suggests it's a money-losing game. Drones are cheaper and more effective

Метэазонды на Літву – гэта наўрад ці кантрабандысты. Навуковец падлічыў, наколькі гэта выгадна
Сяргей Бесараб даводзіць: метэазонды – добры навуковы інструмент і цудоўная магчымасць для папулярызацыі навукі, інжынерыі і матэматыкі. Але не такі добны інструмент для кантрабанды цыгарэтаў: выходзі...

José Carlos Millás was a #Cuban #meteorologist that narrowed hurricane season to between June & November & predicted the 1994 October hurricane using only weather balloon data.

Want to know why the meteorologists are fumbling all over themselves with innacurate #forecasts and can't nail down what is really going to happen? Blame #DOGE. They cut #NWS #WeatherBalloons in the #Midwest so there is no way to really understand all these #ClimateChange driven storms same-day.

When there isn't enough people to do a job effectively and thoroughly the result is sub par. The equipment (ie weatherballoons) is not reusable. it needs to be replaced that cost money that has been cut off. So yes. that is one hell of a statement. staff did all it could with little resources

the best method of assessing atmospheric conditions.
Pressure, pressure gradients, how the winds are flowing, moisture levels are all important factors. The launching of weatherballoons has been diminished since the cuts. This makes forcasts inaccurate "Everybody says so!"

Notice from the National Weather Service #NWS for Reduction of Radiosonde (Weather Balloon) Observations. I know for some it may sound silly that we still used #weatherballoons, but it is the cheapest, most reliable, most detailed way to get a profile of the atmosphere vertically. 😢 ⛈️ #Wx #Weather
Service Change Notice 25-36 National Weather Service Headquarters Silver Spring, MD 1030 AM EDT Thu Apr 17, 2025 To: From: Subscribers: -NOAA Weather Wire Service -Emergency Manager Weather Information Network -NOAAPort -Other NWS Partners, Users, And Employees Mike Hopkins, Director Surface and Upper Air Division Office of Observations Subject: Temporary Reduction of Radiosonde Observations, from Selected Sites, Effective April 17, 2025. Until further notice, the National Weather Service (NWS) may temporarily reduce or suspend scheduled radiosonde launches at selected NWS upper air sites due to staffing limitations or operational priorities. Office(s) will continue to conduct special observations as resources allow and in response to emerging weather events. To mitigate potential impacts, the NWS is actively pursuing alternative sources of upper-air data and adjusting internal staffing and procedures to maintain continuity of service. Additional updates will be provided as needed. Under normal operations, the NWS conducts and/or supports radiosonde observations twice a day from 100 upper air sites throughout the United States, Caribbean, and the Pacific Basin. Radiosondes are sensors attached to weather balloons to provide critical upper-atmospheric data including temperature, dew point, relative humidity, pressure, and wind profiles. These data support weather modeling and forecasting and are complemented by observations from aircraft, satellites, radars, surface stations, and ocean buoys. If you or your organization have any questions about these changes, please contact: Mike Hopkins Director Surface and Upper Air Division National Weather Service E-mail: mike.hopkins@noaa.gov National Service Change Notices are online at: https://www.weather.gov/notification/

The National Weather Service is facing significant staffing cuts and has temporarily reduced weather balloon launches at several sites. These balloons are a key tool used by meteorologists to gather data for weather forecast models.

Great. I guess this was expected. DOGE never sailed the Great Lakes obviously. Sell the boat. 😞

The two amateur pico balloons are cruising unharmed through Montana and Arizona skies! It looks like the military has finally chilled out :-) #BalloonShotDown #balloongate #weatherballoons

Alaska airspace was just penetrated by the next amateur balloon. What will happen? The rainbow lines are where it may drift in the future.
