| This "pumpkin balloon" is not a work of art, but a means of studying the ozone hole that opens every spring over the Northern Hemisphere. UMass scientists are working on a version of the balloon that can withstand altitudes of 13 miles, carrying small computers and sensors. Paul Voss, at right, a researcher in atmospheric sciences who heads the project, says the new balloons could help determine what causes the ozone loss over our region.(photo by Thomas Kendall) |
