Cloud and Weather Behavior on Brown Dwarfs
A group of scientists led by Daniel Apai, who holds a joint appointment at Steward and LPL, are observing brown dwarfs at several wavelengths to learn about the weather (akin to storms on the Sun's gas-giant planets) and clouds (akin to the belts and bands). Read about their project HERE, in an article written by David Flateau. Professor Apai also has a blog entitled Distant Earths.
