The balloon will fly back and forth, analyzing how the cloud behaves so we can build better models of how solar geoengineering might work.
Harvard researchers plan to conduct
one of the first outdoor geoengineering experiments by launching a small balloon from the Arizona desert.
The balloon will release a small cloud of particles in the lower stratosphere.
