Robert Gillies is a part of the team that has created this program that predicts when inversions will take place, weeks in advance. Gillies and the Utah Climate Center use the climate data and input it into the model that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association runs, to predict inversions before they happen, based on weather patterns from around the world.

Kerry Bringhurst talks to Gillies about his research, and the inversion currently settled over Utah.
