Europe is experiencing a severe summer characterized by extreme heatwaves and widespread wildfires, with over 434,000 hectares burned so far this year. The combination of drought and high temperatures has forced the evacuation of thousands of people across multiple countries throughout the continent.
In parallel to these events, researchers are working to better understand the meteorological impact of such fires. NASA is currently utilizing a modified U-2 spy plane, known as the ER-2 or "Dragon Lady," to study pyrocumulonimbus clouds, which are intense storms generated by large-scale forest fires.
