Alex and WHOI scientists launch weather balloons for the WFIP3 project

From May 3–6, Alex and a team of WHOI scientists collected atmospheric data via soundings (also known as weather balloon launches) as a part of the Wind Forecast Improvement Project 3 (WFIP3, https://www2.whoi.edu/site/wfip3/). Atmospheric soundings took place every six hours from Woods Hole and from the R/V Endeavor, which transected south to the shelf break as a part of The Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project (https://nes-lter.whoi.edu/).
