Balloon Performance Analysis - NCAR Scientific Balloon Facility

Item

Title
Balloon Performance Analysis - NCAR Scientific Balloon Facility
Description
Flight history of NCAR-conducted flights are presented. Correlation of balloon vehicle performance versus size, material gauge and manufacture , free lift, gross load, ground conditions, etc., are presented. In addition, a thesis is presented which states that ascent failures best correlate with low temperatures and amount of excess material at the base of the balloon bubble .
