Like bubbles in champagne,
helium balloons will soon float
upward nightly from seven first
order United States Weather Bu

To each gas filled bag will be
attached a two-pound radio trans

mittent signals reporting temper
ature and humidity to elaborate
equipment just installed at Ketch

and Bar,row.
R. A. Powell, senor radiosonde
technician for the United States

week while O. Kenneth Ander
son, official in charge of the
Fairbanks bureau, was attending
sessions of a weathermen’s con

at the five centers have been
completed.
Fairbanks and Juneau have
(been carrying on radiosonde ob

September.
• Barrow, Bethel and Ketchican,
formerly second order stations,
are now rated first order, and
will receive assignees of cem

In addition to the radio meteor
