NSSL scientists will launch instrumented balloons into north Florida thunderstorms as part of an ongoing University of Florida triggered lightning experiment for two weeks beginning July 28.
NSSL’s Dave Rust is retiring today, and we wanted to honor his significant, even revolutionary contributions, to thunderstorm science, especially through observation platforms.
Probably the most important partnership in Dave’s life has been with his wife of almost 45 years, Linda.
NSSL researchers successfully launched two balloon borne prototype instruments into a large thunderstorm complex at the end of October.
