Stratospheric Balloons Listen In on Ground Activity

Eos, 2021
Solar-powered hot-air balloons, floating 2.5 times as high as Mount Everest, detected a buried explosion more clearly than ground-based sensors did.

A Possible Solution to the Mystery of the ANITA Anomalous Events

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 4, April 2026.
In 2006 and 2014, the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a balloon‐borne radio observatory flying over Antarctica, detected two strange upward‐going radio pulse events that have not yet been explained by our current understanding of physics.

NSF NCAR's In Situ Sensing Facility Measurement System During the Sundowner Wind EXperiment (SWEX)

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
This paper details the Sundowner Wind Experiment (SWEX) datasets, which characterize downslope winds to advance understanding of boundary layer processes and improve wildfire research and forecasting. The comprehensive, quality‐controlled data from various atmospheric observational platforms will be invaluable for future multidisciplinary research ...

Balloon observation of aerosols in the antarctic troposphere and stratosphere

Tellus B, 1986
Balloon soundings of aerosols up to 15 km in height were carried out in 1983 at Syowa Station (69°OO´S. 39°35'E), Antarctica. The vertical distribution of the concentration and size distribution of Mie particles (diameter larger than 0.3 μm) was obtained on 3 June and on 16 October.

Modeled and Observed Stratospheric Temperature Changes: Implications for Fingerprint Studies

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Changes in the vertical structure of atmospheric temperature are an important “fingerprint” of human effects on global climate. These changes are mainly driven by human‐caused increases in atmospheric levels of CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ and other well‐mixed greenhouse gases.

Liquid particle composition and heterogeneous reactions in a mountain wave Polar Stratospheric Cloud. [PDF]

, 2005
Mountain wave polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) were detected on 8 February 2003 above the Scandinavian Mountains by in-situ instruments onboard the M55 Geophysica aircraft.

Stratospheric Aerosol Particle Size Explains Divergent Limb and Solar Occultation Measurements After the Hunga Eruption

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The 2022 Hunga eruption significantly perturbed the stratosphere by injecting substantial water vapor and SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$, drastically changing the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and particle size. Post‐eruption, satellite limb‐scattering retrievals of aerosol extinction from Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite Limb Profiler (OMPS‐LP) and ...

Origins and Spatial Distribution of Non-Pure Sulfate Particles (NSPs) in the Stratosphere Detected by the Balloon-Borne Light Optical Aerosols Counter (LOAC)

Atmosphere, 2020
While water and sulfuric acid droplets are the main component of stratospheric aerosols, measurements performed for about 30 years have shown that non-sulfate particles (NSPs) are also present.
