Description
English: Last month, we intentionally flew into the stormy night skies over the Midwest to study why thunderstorms form at night as opposed to during the day like most other areas. The research is part of a study called Plains Elevated Convection At Night (PECAN), which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with support from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). go.nasa.gov/1K2Odoy #EarthRightNow
