Use of captive balloons for the study of the pollution in the lower layers of the atmosphere (in French)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4939319
From AERALL colloquim; Paris, France (12 Nov 1973). The sampling of pollutants is made with the aid of devices suspended to the anchor cable of a captive balloon. A radioprobe gives the vertical profile of the pressure, the temperature, and the humidity of the air and the vertical profile of the wind velocity. The start-up of the device is described. Some results are given which show the influence of a temperature inversion layer on the diffusion of certain pollutants. (tr-auth)
