One of the tools that National Weather Service Incident Meteorologists (IMETS) have in their tool kit is the ability to launch weather balloons. I have shared videos of IMETS launching balloons in years past, but I think this bears repeating. Listen to NWS Incident Meteorologist Trainee Blaine Britreiter explain balloon launches in this eight minute video. If you prefer, a direct link to the video may be found on this Lassen National Forest FB Page.
