transmitter is sent up by balloon in the new sys- tem. As it rises, at the 300 feet a rate of 100 or minute, the transmitter sends out a continuous re- cord of temperature, at- mospheric pressure and hu- midity, says the Singapore Sunday Times.

The balloon should reach the about two in stratosphere hours, the time depending on the height of the stratosphere, which varies continuously.

A new radio set and balloon have to be used every day, as neither can be recovered after disappearing into the stratosphere.

It is hoped the first balloon will be released in Singapore before the end of next month.
