Opportunistic sensing with recreational hot-air balloon flights
2020
Bulletin of The American Meteorological Society - (BAMS)
We report about a new third party observation, namely wind measurements derived from Hot-Air Balloon (HAB) tracks. At first we compare the HAB winds with wind measurements from a meteorological tower and a radio acoustic wind profiler, both situated at the topographically flat Cabauw observatory in the Netherlands. To explore the potential of this new type of wind observation in other topographies, we present an intriguing HAB flight in Austria with a spectacular mountain-valley circulation.
