A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) work crew replaces the used smoke grenades in the frames mounted on a 210-foot tower. The smoke grenades are being used by researchers at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory who are investigating the wind vortices created by the passage of an aircraft and the effects that those disturbances would have on low-altitude parachute drops
