For us here on the surface, tropical storms usually bring a lot of wind, water, and lightning. They can range in intensity from mild to incredibly destructive, with the latter usually on their way to becoming hurricanes. When we're enduring all the watery wrath of such storms it can be easy to forget what's happening way up above our heads, but scientists are always studying the inner working of storms to get a better idea of how they form and grow, and hopefully how to better predict their behavior.
In one new study, researchers examined data gathered during a storm cluster that formed in the West Pacific in late 2018. The storm was monitored by weather satellites that are capable of recording a variety of things, including temperature. This special storm, which was the result of what is called a "deep convection event," pushed so high into the atmosphere that it managed to actually break a temperature record for our planet.
