IPA scientists observe less nitrogen oxides in tropical thunderstorms than expected
Thunderstorms are not only spectacular weather events. They also have a great influence on atmospheric chemistry and climate. In a lightning channel, substantial amounts of nitrogen oxides (NO) are formed from nitrogen and oxygen. However, it was still an open question how much nitrogen oxide is generated. Researchers of the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IPA) now achieved a surprising result: tropical thunderstorms produce less nitrogen oxides than expected.
