Knowledge graph centered on Tethered balloon vertical profiling with 68 nodes and 151 connections. Top connected: leaf water content, precipitation, Colorado River, streamflow, elevation gradient.
Tethered balloon system flights carrying aerosol instruments vertically through the atmospheric column to generate profiles of particle concentrations with altitude. Pseudo vertical columns are constructed by pairing altitude-time measurements with concurrent aerosol data.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Measurement report: An investigation of the spatiotemporal variability in aerosols in the mountainous terrain of the upper Colorado River basin using SAIL-Net (2025), Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
