DOI: 10.1080/02786826.2018.1546045
Abstract: Abstract Size-segregated aerosol vertical profiles in the troposphere are critically important for source attribution, transformation processes, atmospheric stability, and radiative forcing. For the first time, the development of a 6-stage impactor for real-time balloon-borne measurements… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/6718273
Abstract: Controlling and maintaining the orientation of the balloon-borne gondola for high-altitude flight is a prerequisite for ensuring the pointing control of observation instruments. When the balloon-borne gondola is flying in the stratosphere of the atmosphere,… read more here.
