    A group of weather Marines get ready to release a large 300-gram weather balloon in order to understand the weather around Iwakuni Oct. 19. They stand behind a large stack of Helium tanks which are used to fill the balloons allowing them to reach heights of approximately 70,000 feet above sea level. With the technology shrinking, Radiosonde are easier to carry and launch.
