We all know weather here in Colorado’s Front Range can be unpredictable at best, but predicting atmospheric conditions on even larger scales can seem impossible due to the astounding number of factors involved. A new CU-led center, called Wave-induced Atmospheric Variability Enterprise (or just WAVE), is examining one oft-overlooked component of our atmosphere: gravity waves. In this episode, we interview two scientists working on the WAVE project about what these gravity waves are and how they affect not only our local weather but also the atmosphere as a whole, and how they can even influence interactions between the Earth and the sun!
