Flying into the cold unknown
Typically, pilots avoid flying where icing conditions can occur, but researchers are flying into extremely cold weather in order to study an Arctic phenomenon known as marine cold air outbreaks (CAOs). CAOs and the clouds they generate may have far-reaching climate impacts and scientists are hoping to understand more about the role they are playing in the rapid warming of the Arctic.
