UH professors Edgar Bering and James Benbrook are preparing to hunt down these flashes this summer.
Weather is a very important thing.
Given the number of lives that this possibility could put at risk, we need to answer this question quite urgently. Other than their colors, scientists know very little about these atmospheric oddities, but professors Bering and Benbrook intend to rectify that problem. They will begin the hunt in Palestine, Texas, from June 7 th to 21 st . Palestine is home to the National Scientific Balloon Facility. While they hope to collect some good data at Palestine, the best thunderstorms are likely to be found later in the year farther north.
