Weather balloons were invented in 1783 by Jared Eckhardt and made their first flight by Frenchmen Jean-Francois d Rozier and Marquis d’Aalandes on November 21, 1783. Weather balloons are made from latex material and sometimes contain chloroprene, and they are used to send instruments into the sky to measure atmospheric conditions using radiosonde sensors that track pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed while transmitting data back to the ground.

This document discusses global warming and its causes and effects. It explains that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect and global warming, which leads to long-term climate change. It notes that human activities like burning fossil fuels are the primary contributors to increased greenhouse gases. The consequences of climate change include more extreme weather events like hurricanes and droughts, which can negatively impact the global economy. The document also discusses some arguments against human-caused global warming and potential solutions to fight it.
Global warming not real
Global warming is not real according to the authors. They claim that statistics are misleading and that glaciers in Greenland are actually thickening, not shrinking. Natural factors are a better explanation than human causes, and that CO2 increases are due to minimal human influence. The authors also argue that reports of global warming are simply lies for personal financial gain by scientists, the government, and corporations.

Glaciers in Greenland are thickening, not thinning as claimed. Polar bear populations have increased five-fold since the 1950s. CO2 levels have fluctuated over 400,000 years without human influence, and water vapor is a more potent greenhouse gas, suggesting human CO2 emissions are not the main driver of current climate change.

Okeechobee hurricane
A powerful Category 4 hurricane formed off the coast of Africa in September 1928 and followed a path through the Caribbean islands to Florida, where it caused catastrophic flooding when it hit Lake Okeechobee. The hurricane led to over 1,800 deaths in Florida, most from drowning due to the lake water surging over the dikes. Puerto Rico and the Bahamas also experienced significant damage and loss of life from the powerful storm. The total financial cost was estimated at $75 million.

Orographic lifting and frontal wedging are processes where air is forced to rise over geographic features or air masses. Convergence and localized convergence involve the coming together of air masses. Condensation allows water vapor to change to liquid water droplets. The main cloud types are categorized by height as high, middle, and low clouds. Fog forms through similar cooling processes as clouds near the surface. Cold cloud precipitation involves freezing nuclei while warm cloud precipitation relies on collisions. Rain, snow, sleet, glaze and hail are different forms of precipitation.

When air rises and expands, it cools through adiabatic processes. This cooling can cause water vapor in the air to condense into clouds and precipitate out as rain, snow, sleet or hail depending on temperature levels. Clouds are classified based on their height and physical structure into cirrus, altostratus and nimbostratus clouds that form at high, middle and low altitudes respectively.
3jlaubach
Unequal heating of the Earth's surface causes air temperatures to change without a change in energy. This leads some parts of the Earth to be warmer or cooler than others. When warm air rises and is blocked or forced upward by cooler air, various cloud types can form through condensation. Precipitation occurs through processes like collision-coalescence in warm clouds or Bergeron process in mixed-phase clouds, forming rain, snow, sleet, hail, or freezing rain depending on temperature.
