Ready for takeoff? Buckle up as we join scientists with NASA’s IMPACTS mission on their science flights! The team is using two aircraft: one flying within the storm and one above the clouds. The P-3 aircraft flies directly into the storm to measure cloud properties at various altitudes while the ER-2 aircraft flies above the clouds to study storms from the top down. What the IMPACTS team learns will further our understanding of how snowstorms form and develop, and improve our ability to predict
