This 4:38 video explains how microbursts, which occur when a column of sinking air rapidly cools, create intense downbursts of powerful winds and why that was a problem for aircraft. This video segment describes how NASA’s Wind Shear Program and the FAA worked together to invent a sensor to warn pilots about microbursts so the winds could be avoided.
