We're at it again. Launching a weather balloon, talking about the weather (standard WindBorne fare) on September 26 at the Exploratorium.

Help us build a planetary nervous system / witness the release of a WindBorne Global Sounding Balloon (GSB) which weighs ~2.5 lbs, remains aloft for an average of 21 days, collects 30-50x more data than a traditional radiosonde, and can circle the entire planet multiple times!
