IMPACTS 2023 Science Team Meeting

ER-2 Weather Spy in the Sky

The Weather Channel reports on the IMPACTS mission, including its airborne science platforms and instruments. The story features interviews with ER-2 Pilot James G. “Coach” Nelson, IMPACTS Principal Investigator Lynn McMurdie, and Mission Scientists Chip Helms (CRS), Ed Nowottnick (CPL), David Robles (CoSSIR), and Douglas Mach (LIP).

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
