Title text:
Once you add the balloons into the model, it makes forecasting easier overall–the forecast is always ‘cold and dark, with minimal solar-driven convection.’

We launch over a thousand weather balloons per day?
It seems reasonable given that space the atmosphere is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.
There really is an xkcd for everything.
Seems like a climate change proposal to me 👍
I’m going to need someone to adjust the model for instances in which an F-22 starts shooting them down.
How about when an unhinged person in the White House starts defunding NWS and launches get cancelled (yes - happening already).
All the fighter jets in the world couldn’t make a tiny dent in one trillion balloons.
I’d just shoot doem down with FLAC cannons
Not if we build it one trillion of them.

My first thought was “who’s launching all these leather balloons?”.
