  "term": "Wiresonde",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An atmospheric instrument package that is raised and lowered through the lower atmosphere on a tethered cable, typically attached to a balloon or tower. It measures meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed at high vertical resolution. Unlike a free-rising radiosonde, a wiresonde can take repeated soundings of the same column of air over time, providing detailed data on the atmospheric boundary layer.",
