New — the water platform

Water data that answers questions

Type what you want to know about streamflow, groundwater, snowpack or drought. You get an answer in seconds, built from the federal and state record. Every number shows its source.

Instruments

The atmosphere, measured

Flight-proven radiosondes, sensor breakouts and ground-station hardware — built and calibrated here, with the software to fly them.

Free & open — the balloon archive

Where the little balloons go

A party-balloon-sized craft with a solar tracker can stay up for months and lap the planet. The archive keeps the record of every one of those flights, and shows you the ones in the air right now.

The Pico Balloon Archive live view — a globe with the day/night terminator and several dozen balloons aloft
