| Abstract |
The paper is an overview of recent studies in which balloons, usually tethered, have been used to investigate the structure and air quality of the planetary boundary layer. It also describes a number of lightweight tethered balloon sampling systems, developed to investigate particulate and gaseous emissions from point and nonpoint sources. The sampling systems have both vertical and horizontal mobility and sample at specified altitudes for extended periods of time. Two of the balloon-borne samplers are remote controlled and have been used to monitor emissions in the plumes of point sources. A third sampler has been developed to investigate the vertical extent and downwind transport of particle emissions from fugitive sources. A fourth sampler, currently being developed, is also described. |
