 A
meteorological phenomenon
known as a "microburst" can
occur in or near thunderstorms
and is often responsible
for a particularly nasty
form of wind shear. This
wind shear can cause large
and small aircraft alike
to loose control and crash
with little or no warning.
NASA is working to help pilots
better prepare or avoid this
event with new technologies.
