[New] sensors, dubbed hailsondes, are designed to fly around freely within storms to behave like real hail. Each probe is shaped like a hailstone—a 24-gram sphere [that is] 6.5 centimeters wide ... Although they are launched via balloons, the hailsondes get released once updrafts within storms are strong enough to keep the sensors aloft.

CONT

[Deux] équipes de chercheurs australiens sont parvenues à déployer des «hailsondes», des sondes [...] prenant la forme de grêlons de 24 grammes fixés à des ballons. Celles-ci ont été lâchées dans les courants ascendants de la tempête, ce qui leur a permis de collecter de nombreuses données lorsqu'elles se déplaçaient à l'intérieur.
