A relationship between skin thermal conductivity and gas polytropic index in an open atmospheric balloon

With the assumption of a polytropic evolution for the lifting gas, the response of an ascending open atmospheric balloon to a monochromatic gravity wave is specified among other parameters by the heat balance with the surrounding air. If one considers the bubble of gas inside the open balloon as a t...
