Weather Balloons � Filled with helium or hydrogen, they are launched twice a day

Weather Balloons � Filled with helium or hydrogen, they are launched twice a day from around the world. � They record temperature, pressure, humidity and wind speed at different heights in the atmosphere.

Satellites � Satellites allow meteorologists to see what the earth and clouds look like

Satellites � Satellites allow meteorologists to see what the earth and clouds look like from space. � This way, forecasters can see how the atmosphere is behaving.

Global Circulation � Basic air movement patterns � Lots of variation within these large
