Dropsondes are routinely deployed from aircraft to gather in-situ vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, and wind through deep convective systems and tropical weather phenomena.

The analysis

The claim states that dropsondes are used to measure vertical profiles through deep convective systems. Papers [1] and [7] explicitly discuss deploying dropsondes during field campaigns to observe profiles within cloud clusters, tropical cyclones, and tropical superclusters. Thus, the evidence strongly supports the claim.
