DLR storm research: less nitrogen oxide in tropical weather than expected

Storms are more than just spectacular weather events; they also exercise considerable influence on atmospheric chemistry and Earth's climate.

Researchers from the German Aerospace Agency (DLR) Institute of Atmospheric Physics have come up with some very surprising results: tropical storms create less nitrogen oxide than had been expected.
