Aerial Storm Chasing

Aerial Storm Chasing

 

Showers and thunderstorms (Convection) are giant waterfalls in the sky when viewed from the air that come out of the base of their parent convective cloud. Usually the base they come out of is bounded by clouds and sometimes these bounding clouds take on an organized almost vault-like look or rugged look and can produce strong winds as the rain cooled air pushes outward and the convection takes in warmer air-creating a gustfront or shelf cloud. Everything you need to know about what is going on with a storm (convective) cell is located at and below its cloud base level. Going to mid levels of a storm and just above the base is good and fun for structure images but has no applications to helping people know what’s going on with the storm because all that is way lower in altitude below its cloud base level. Aerial chasing is something just a few people in the world diligently have pursued, it’s a unique hobby.
