    Sgt. Travis W. Patton, a meteorology oceanography analyst forecaster, receives final directions from Staff Sgt. Michael E. Fitch, a meteorology oceanography analyst forecaster, before releasing a weather balloon with the new Radiosonde attached here Oct. 19. The Radiosonde can pass to 30,000 feet, where Marines usually choose to stop receiving information from the device. This new technology is helping Marines in the field and in garrison detect weather changes.
