Ever wondered how there is so much data known to meteorologists? Well, here in Antarctica, as well as all over Australia a weather balloon is released at the same time morning and night that measures data all the way into the atmosphere. The balloons are filled with hydrogen which is produced on site. In this photo, Kheyan our Met Tech on site is releasing the 7pm balloon. You learn so much here!
