The data is provided on voluntary basis by professional balloonists. The dataset was compiled for the PhD thesis with DOI: 10.18174/589639. The PhD thesis is about the application of hot air balloon tracks as a potential source of wind data in the lower kilometer of the atmosphere. Balloon flights from the archives of balloonists were studied and interesting wind patterns were explained with respect to their meteorological background. The motion of a hot air balloon was studied as well as the inertia of the balloon after changing winds. A field experiment was conducted in the Netherlands to collect data using a smartphone app, which was used to determine balloon wind data. Verification with the 200m high Cabauw tower measurements yielded positive results. Balloon dynamics were studied with an accurate wind meter mounted under the balloon basket. Next, verification and impact studies were performed with two weather models to demonstrate the applicability of the hot air balloon wind data.

Deze dataset bestaat uit navigatiegegevens van heteluchtballonvaarten en zijn een potentiële bron van windgegevens in de atmosferische grenslaag. De data is aangeleverd op vrijwillige basis door professionele ballonvaarders. De dataset is samengesteld voor het proefschrift met DOI 10.18174/589639. Het proefschrift gaat over het gebruik van heteluchtballonnen als een potentiële bron van windgegevens in de onderste kilometer van de atmosfeer. Ballonvaarten uit de archieven van ballonvaarders werden bestudeerd en interessante windpatronen werden verklaard met betrekking tot hun meteorologische achtergrond. De beweging van een heteluchtballon werd bestudeerd evenals de traagheid van de ballon na een veranderende wind. Een veldexperiment werd uitgevoerd in Nederland om gegevens te verzamelen met behulp van een smartphone-app, die werd gebruikt om de ballon windgegevens te bepalen. Verificatie met de 200m hoge Cabauw-toren metingen leverde positieve resultaten op. De dynamica van de ballon werd bestudeerd met een nauwkeurige windmeter gemonteerd onder de ballonmand. Vervolgens werden verificatie en impact studies uitgevoerd met twee weermodellen om de toepasbaarheid van de heteluchtballon wind data aan te tonen.
