(Page 4, part a)
We are studying the electrical evolution of thunderstorms
by flying multiple series of instrumented balloons. This project
is funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ATM-9626542.
The photos on this page were taken by Astrid Giers, a visitor to the Lab
from Germany.

This was our first true

balloons!
