Definition
A small scientific instrument package that is dropped from an aircraft to measure atmospheric conditions and transmit data as it falls.
Etymology
Compound of 'drop' and 'sonde' (from French 'sonde,' meaning 'probe'). Coined in the 20th century as aviation allowed scientists to instrument the atmosphere.
Kelly Says
Dropsondes revolutionized hurricane and storm research—scientists drop hundreds of them into hurricanes, where they measure wind, pressure, and moisture as they parachute down, sending crucial data that improves weather prediction.
