Tethered balloon system (TBS) flights were launched in September 2021 during ARM’s Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign in Gothic, Colorado. The SAIL campaign, which will run from September 2021 to June 2023, will provide insights into mountainous water-cycle processes.
