Chaos Hotspots on the Weather Map (June 13, 2001)
In efforts to improve weather forecasting, a multidisciplinary University of Maryland team has developed a technique that determines the location of chaos "hotspots," regions in which small changes in conditions are believed to magnify most quickly into large perturbations in the weather.
