A dropsonde is an expendable weather reconnaissance device created by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), designed to be dropped from an aircraft at altitude over water to measure (and therefore track) storm conditions as the device falls to the surface.

A dropsonde is a weather device that is designed to be dropped out of an aircraft at specified altitudes and due to the force of gravity, drop to the Earth. During the descent the GPS dropsonde collects data of the surrounding atmosphere that is remotely sent …

The dropsonde transmits data by radio four times a second to the aircraft until it reaches the surface of the ocean. Dropsonde data provides critical information to the forecast models used to predict storm track and intensity.

下投式探空儀，或稱「投落送」（英語： Dropsonde ），是一種自飛機或相似的高空飛行器投落至地面而用來遙測的氣象探測裝置。其所偵測的資訊一般以無線電傳送至任務飛機的電腦裡。

A Dropsonde (or sonde) is a small electronic device which contains atmopsheric sensors: pressure, temperature, humidity and a GPS receiver to dervie winds. The sonde is launched from an aircraft where a parachute is deployed.

The dropsondes collect high vertical resolution measurements of the temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction in the atmosphere. Coupled with the long 24+ hour endurance of the aircraft, the system provides a revolutionary capability for the monitoring of high-impact weather events.

2018年8月1日 · A new remotely controlled Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) dropsonde system has been developed for and deployed on the NASA Global Hawk (GH) unmanned aircraft.

The AVAPS Dropsonde System is a critical atmospheric instrument that measures high-resolution vertical profiles of ambient temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. Measurements are taken by a parachuted GPS dropsonde that is launched from the aircraft and descend to the surface.

2010年9月2日 · The dropsonde is the airborne counterpart to the conventional radiosonde (sometimes also called an upsonde). Dropsondes are ejected from research and reconnaissance aircraft and float to earth on a special balloonlike parachute. Current state-of-the-art dropsonde sensors include capacitance fine-wire sensors to measure temperature, capacitance ...
