North American Upstream Feature-Resolving and Tropopause Uncertainty Reconnaissance Experiment (NURTURE)

NURTURE is a NASA-funded large-scale aircraft field campaign. It will advance knowledge of the processes that lead to extreme high-impact weather (HIW) events during the winter, such as severe cold air outbreaks, windstorms and hazardous seas, snow and ice storms, sea ice breakup, and extreme precipitation.
