Weathering the pandemic: How CSU researchers could use forecast models to predict spread of COVID-19
Researchers at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere are hot on the trail in developing tools to find out if the virus responds to seasonal- and weather-related factors.
Glowing green 'dunes' in the sky mesmerized skygazers. They turned out to be a new kind of aurora.
This aurora is formed by the dramatic dance of gravity waves and oxygen atoms, according to new findings published today (Jan. 29) in the journal AGU Advances (Space.com).
