New research takes first step toward advance warnings of space weather
Researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have developed a new tool providing a first step toward the ability to forecast space weather weeks in advance, instead of just hours.

WUI fires are becoming increasingly more common in the U.S. and have destroyed more than 100,000 homes since 2005.
