One of my favorite visualizations to produce. Watch as the relationship of rainfall over land inverts and becomes rainfall over Lake Victoria as day turns to night. Lake Victoria is notorious for its intense nighttime thunderstorms: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/147231/…

I can't imagine what Northern Illinois would do to Georgia.

#PaperAlert Acaba de salir mi primer artículo en solitario que lleva por título "Tornadic Environments in Mexico" y fue publicado en la revista de Atmospheric Research. Lo pueden consultar de forma gratuita (es Open Access) en el siguiente enlace: dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.atmo…

#AMS2025 attendees, please stop by my talk on Tues 14 Jan at 5 PM to learn about airborne Aerosol Wind Profiler lidar data collected during 2 NASA field campaigns in Fall 2024. Here's sample slides showing AWP data from the Airborne Science Gulfstream-3 ams.confex.com/ams/105ANNUAL/…

If you’re around #AMS2025 tomorrow, stop by my talk about stratosphere-troposphere exchange and tropical cyclones in room 226 at 1:45 pm!

Brand New NASA 777 N577NA arrives in Waco. This aircraft is replacing their now retired DC-8, used for sensor development, satellite sensor verification, and basic research studies of the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

Coming in for a landing 🚀🌕 During last week's Moon landing, our SCALPSS cameras captured first-of-its-kind video of the lunar lander’s engine plumes interacting with the Moon’s surface. Read more: go.nasa.gov/4huTkVd

Incredible look at widespread blowing dust across the plains today from GOES-East GeoDust Imagery.

#GOESWest True Color RGB images showed a von Kármán vortex street -- created by north-northwesterly winds interacting with the sharp western tip of Nelson Island, Alaska -- propagating south across the Bering Sea on 20 March. Full resolution: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl... #AKwx

In the wake of the tornadoes that struck the Southeastern U.S. March 14-16, NASA Langley researchers supported by the NASA Disasters Program, mapped potential severe weather by observing patterns in the storm-tops using NOAA GOES satellite data. appliedsciences.nasa.gov/our-impact/sto…

WORD OF THE WEEK 💬 Overshooting top — (Or anvil dome, penetrating top.) A domelike protrusion above a cumulonimbus anvil, representing the intrusion of an updraft through its equilibrium level (level of neutral buoyancy). More about overshooting top: bit.ly/4bL62Oz

An airborne field campaign that I led with the NASA Langley Research Center Aerosol Wind Profiler (AWP) Doppler wind lidar was featured today by NASA. nasa.gov/missions/airbo… Learn more about the 3-D animation featured in this article here: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5509

Hurricanes and severe storms can be disastrous and develop rapidly. The Aerosol Wind Profiler (AWP) is an instrument NASA is using that can significantly improve our ability to forecast and respond to dangerous weather. Read more: go.nasa.gov/4cVE4jv

Severe storms erupted across the U.S. Plains yesterday evening. GOES-19 captured this impressive view over Nebraska.

The AP is tagging along with scientists from Project ICECHIP to chase one of the nation’s costliest but least-appreciated weather dangers: hail. It's rarely deadly, but it causes about $10 billion in damage each year in the U.S. Follow along for the journey.

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so
