“…One of the first methods used was triangulation with radio direction find-ers. Later, sun angle sensors on board the balloons were employed [Blamont et al, 1970]. Next, radio-navigation systems such as loran and Omega came into prominence [Lally, 1967].…”

The history of constant‐level balloons as observational platforms for atmospheric research is reviewed. Recent experience in using simple tetroons with Global Positioning System transponders for long‐range tracking during the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) is presented, along with an overview of the results of the ASTEX/Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange Lagrangian strategy experiments. Progress in balloon materials and tracking capabilities is discussed, and a design is presented for an economical, lightweight “smart balloon” for use in future Lagrangian strategy, atmospheric chemistry experiments.

“…The ability of an tetroon to relay information or to receive information from another device such as a satellite where information is disseminated is not new Blamont, et al (1970), Morel and Desbois (1974), and Webster and Curtin (1974). The history of smart tetroons starts with several evolutionary developments.…”
