Summary, Etc.
Historically, meteorological observing stations have spread outward from centers of population, mostly along trade routes on land, the oceans, and finally in the air. Vertically, the atmosphere has been successively sounded by the aid of mountain observatories, manned balloons, instrument balloons, kites and airplanes. Occasionally as in the first and second International Polar Years, there have been planned expansiona of observing networks to remote, uninhabited regions such as the Arctic. In the International Geophysical Year, this expansion spread to the Antarctic and did more than that. Simultaneous with pushing balloons to their maximum practical operating ceiling of close to 30 kilometers at many of the world's radiosonde stations, two significant development occurred in the IGY: first, the vertical sounding probes were pushed to their ultimate limit by systematic use of sounding rockets to heights considerably above balloon ceilings. Although this development started during and shortly after WW ll, its widespread application occurred during the IGY. Second, the horizontal scanning of the atmosphere reached its ultimate with the introduction of the earth orbiting satellite
