Vaisala dropsondes A dropsonde is a radiosonde released from an aircraft or a constant level drift balloon. A stabilizing parachute provides the desired descent speed. A signal receiver is installed in the cabin of the aircraft or in the gondola of the balloon. Dropsondes are mainly used for targeted observations over the ocean. They provide data on severe storm trajectory and intensity prediction, e.g. hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea. Dropsondes are also used to collect data in atmospheric studies, where land-based radiosonde systems cannot be used. Vaisala Dropsondes have been developed in...
