Meteorologist with Jimsphere weather balloon
Meteorologist with a weather balloon. This design of balloon is called a Jimsphere, after its inventor Jim Scoggins. The spherical shape of the balloon is maintained by a relatively high internal pressure; normal flexible balloons adopt a pear-shape which is less stable in flight. The stability of the Jimsphere is further enhanced by four hundred conical projections on its surface. The balloon carries instruments for measuring temperature and humidity (data which are transmitted to the ground) and is tracked visually or by radar to assess wind velocity. This balloon was photographed at the European Space Agencys Ariane launch site in French Guiana

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dedicated meteorologist with a remarkable Jimsphere weather balloon. The Jimsphere, named after its brilliant inventor Jim Scoggins, boasts a unique spherical shape that defies the conventional pear-shaped design of regular balloons. This innovative structure is upheld by maintaining high internal pressure, ensuring unparalleled stability during flight. To further enhance its steadiness in the skies, the Jimsphere features an astonishing four hundred conical projections on its surface. These projections work harmoniously to maintain balance and precision while soaring through the atmosphere. Equipped with cutting-edge instruments for measuring temperature and humidity, this extraordinary balloon transmits crucial data back to ground stations. The diligent meteorologist in the photograph can be seen carefully preparing this technological marvel at the European Space Agency's Ariane launch site in French Guiana. With unwavering focus and expertise, they ensure that every aspect of this mission is meticulously executed. Whether visually tracked or monitored via radar systems, these Jimspheres play an integral role in assessing wind velocity and collecting vital atmospheric information. Their significance extends far beyond their mesmerizing appearance; they are indispensable tools for understanding our ever-changing climate. Captured by Science Photo Library, this image encapsulates both scientific ingenuity and human dedication towards unraveling nature's mysteries. It serves as a powerful reminder of how advancements in meteorology continue to deepen our comprehension of weather patterns and ultimately contribute to building a more resilient future for our planet.
