On the afternoon of September 25th, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences said that when the research group was doing experiments at the sounding station of Zhangqiu Meteorological Bureau in Jinan, the sounding balloon was disconnected and floated away with the wind. However, due to the important data in the scientific instruments at the lower end of the sounding balloon, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics offered a reward of 4,000 yuan to retrieve the balloon. The relevant person in charge said that after the news was sent, he received harassing and fraudulent calls many times.

The relevant person in charge of the institute told the reporter that after the balloon flew away, the research team initially judged the high-altitude wind direction and wind speed at the time of losing contact according to the wind profile radar. After the balloon explodes, it will land in Zichuan, Zhoucun. It is not difficult to find the balloon.

However, because the notice says that "once the balloon is found, the clue provider will be rewarded with 4000 yuan, and many people will provide the clue fee separately", fraudulent and harassing calls will come in from time to time. Up to now, the balloon has not been found, but every day I receive many "calls unrelated to clues".

The relevant person in charge said that at present, although more advanced tools such as sounding rockets, meteorological radars and meteorological satellites are widely used, sounding balloons are still indispensable tools in meteorological research. During the experiment, the balloon burst and floated away with the wind, which is not without precedent. The reward is 4000 yuan because the nylon bag at the bottom of the sounding balloon contains scientific instruments. The institute hopes to retrieve the data of the above instruments by finding balloons for further research. At the same time, this is also a normal scientific experiment. I hope the public will not think that the experimental data is confidential just because there are rewards and bonuses. For researchers, data is the result of many experiments, so it is precious and priceless.

Now people's quality is really worrying. The country's scientific research results are related to the country's development. How can there be no patriotism?
