Carl-Gustav Rossby (right foreground) helps hold a meteorograph-equipped balloon at Lambert Field, St. Louis, in 1934. The meteorograph automatically recorded atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity. At about 65,000 feet the balloon burst and floated back ot the earth, still bearing the instrument. Finders were paid five dollars to return the devices to Rossby.
