  "term": "Teardrop balloon",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of meteorological balloon characterized by its elongated, teardrop shape when inflated, designed for atmospheric soundings. This shape provides aerodynamic stability during ascent and minimizes drag, allowing for a more consistent rise rate. Teardrop balloons are typically filled with hydrogen or helium and carry a radiosonde to transmit atmospheric data.",
