Why does NASA study lightning from space? • Lightning is a natural hazard - threatening lives, damaging infrastructure, causing wildfires, and posing a risk to NASA rocket launches. • Lightning is related to processes within deep convection, and by studying lightning we learn more about how storms impact Earth’s weather and climate. • Lightning produces nitrogen oxides, which modulate ozone levels in the atmosphere. These gases are important for biogeochemical cycles and Earth’s climate. • Lightning affects regions beyond Earth’s troposphere and occurs on other planets.
