Floating Waterfalls in the Sky: What Storms Really Look Like

 

From the start, pilots are taught to stay away and avoid thunderstorms and anything associated with them. Much of this has to do with the danger of the unpredictable winds around them, there are ways to safely navigate close to storms in the air, and that is what we have done.

 

We are showcasing what thunderstorms actually look like in real life in this collection.

 

Everyone has heard of damaging winds and tornadoes and torrential rainfall, but what do these actually look like in real life? We have answers in this collection below!

 

Very few have actually seen these sights, we look at it like what knowledge could have been missed if we hadn’t have done that flight, every flight is invaluable to the science!

 

Our goal is to advance science with our new discovery of being able to showcase what showers and storms really look like!

Our goal is to change societies perspective and understanding of showers and thunderstorms through our aerial imagery! And we intent to continuously post on here as well other sites, as the more people see these images the more normal they become, exposure is key in normalizing this new view and perspective on showers and storms.

We are working on papers and presentations to submit to peer reviewed scientific journals as well! After a while, we hope our efforts help normalize that showers and storms are much more than just “blobs” on a radar screen, they are gigantic living and breathing entities that are just water and air!

Showers & Thunderstorms (convection) are much more than just blobs on a radar, they’re essentially heavy floating towers of condensed water vapor that have waterfalls, various wind fields, and electricity flowing inside them, that sometimes make it to the ground and sometimes not.
