Bulgarian translation:метеорологична радиосонда "dropwindsonde"
Explanation:
dropwindsonde: A version of dropsonde that has intrinsic wind-finding capability through the reception of GPS or LORAN radio-location


The Global Positioning System (GPS) dropwindsonde is frequently just called a dropsonde. This cylindrical instrument package is roughly 7 cm (2.75 in) in diameter, 40 cm (16 in) long, and weighs about 0.4 kg (0.86 lb). The instrument package is released from the aircraft and falls through the storm via a parachute, making and transmitting measurements of temperature, pressure, winds, and humidity every half-second.

падащ (изхвърлян) радиозонд


Explanation:
въпреки че е кръстен "падащ", зондът всъщност се подема от вятъра, за да показва теченията и завихрянията

  -> речникът, разбира се, дава радиосонда, обаче сред метеоролози съм чувал предимно зонд - което всъщност е от немски, възприето и на руски
