Meteorological aircraft

They say that variety is the spice of life – if that's the case, then my working life is very spicy indeed. One of the great joys of what I do is that I never know what the subject of my next project will be.
Some days I find myself trying to find a way to tangibly illustrate one of the many intangible quirks of quantum mechanics – often trying to come up with a visual interpretation of a concept that, by its very nature, defies visual interpretation. And, while these projects are often the most fun to get your teeth into, it is sometimes nice to have something a little more tangible to chew on.
In this case, I was asked by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) to provide an infographic explaining how their flagship meteorological aircraft works.
