Abstract: | Balloon location techniques have developed along the same lines as ship and aircraft navigation systems. Early NCAR balloon flights were located by sun angle measurements versus time and magnetic field measurement, much the same way that Captain Cook used to navigate his sailing vessel. Others have used radio systems developed for ship and aircraft location such as Omega, Loran, radio direction finding, Variable Omnidirectional Radio (VOR) and radar transponders. |
