NASA wraps up mission sending scientists flying into snowstorms
A NASA research field campaign launched in 2020 has flown scientists into winter storms across Wisconsin and the U.S. to answer lingering questions about winter storms. The project ended Feb. 28. We speak with an atmospheric scientist who led the project
NASA research group hopes to learn more about winter storms by flying into them
A NASA research group called IMPACTS has been flying into winter storms with the hopes of learning more about the weather phenomenon. IMPACTS principal investigator Lynn McMurdie joined FOX Weather on Sunday to explain the group’s mission.

Vidal Salazar Interviewed In P3 By Westminster High Students
Scientists are flying into snowstorms to explore winter weather mysteries
High up in some ice-filled clouds, sitting inside an airplane loaded with science instruments, Christian Nairy looked at pictures flashing on his computer screen. This high-altitude slideshow is displaying real-time images of cloud particles being sampled by a device out on the plane's wing — and some of the ice crystals looked like perfect little snowflakes.
