Why It Matters: To understand convective clouds in climate models, the tall and
turbulent storm clouds promising rain, scientists need to describe the strong forces within them.
In one sentence: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers explained the complex fluxes in
turbulent storm clouds using statistical distributions of the vertical velocity and various kinds of precipitating particles within the clouds.

turbulent storm clouds
But in reality, rising plumes that form
turbulent storm clouds can often carry raindrops, snowflakes, and even hailstones upward before they fall out.

But Juno's
cloud - penetrating radar should provide insight into Jupiter's
