Doing so allowed the team to gather"the most detailed airborne analysis of gamma rays and thunderclouds ever recorded," according to the statement.Researchers from the University of Bergen in Norway, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and three different NASA centers participated in the study, known as Airborne Lightning Observatory for Fly's Eye GLM Simulator and Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, or ALOFT.

The aircraft flew out of Tampa, Florida and conducted over 60 hours of observations.
