  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A tethered aircraft that combines characteristics of both a kite and a balloon, designed to remain stable in the air for extended periods. It uses aerodynamic lift from its kite-like shape and buoyancy from an internal gas, usually helium, to maintain altitude. Kytoons are employed for meteorological observations, carrying instruments aloft to measure atmospheric conditions at different heights.",
