    U.S. Naval Research Laboratory research meteorologist David Peterson, Ph.D., is the principal investigator for Injected Smoke and PYRocumulonimbus Experiment, or INSPYRE. The major NASA airborne science mission hopes to better understand dangerous wildfire-generated thunderstorms known as pyrocumulonimbus storms, or pyroCb, and the cascading hazards they create for firefighting operations, aviation, weather forecasting and national security.
