wovld usually be rather small in the troposphere, and even
saaller in the atratosphere—actually it would ve a thin
ribbon cloud no wider than my stick.
On 3 day when thero was
strong convective activity stirring, the layer ecaupied by the
cloud might go down to the ground by the end of the day.
Then
it would be a little bit thicker.
I think this shows one things that is, if we sade « horisontal
traverse through it, we would get a long slice this way, whereas
a few traverses through it vertioslly would intersect the cloud
and would also provide a three-dinensional picture.
could he done either way.
[I think it
One aan visualise slicing through
this way, with the line corresponding to an aireraft flicht;
or slicing through it this way with oe balloon—dut © wanted te
show this slide in order to show that one would not have to have
a very dense network of balloons in order te intersect the part
of the cloud.

What experiment are you croposing?

This is an experiaent whieh would be presumsbly to follow the

ave these balloons staked out, or do they go along with it?
KELLOGGs
Wo, these are sounding balloons in the sense ef « sounding
being made from the ground upward, exastiy as the radio sounds
which ara sent up tice a day all over tke world now.
