Scientists find a way to describe (mathematically) wind turbulence.

I thought this was interesting.  Apparently while observing turbulence, scientists have not been able to properly describe it in a mathematical formula, such that it could be incorporated in weather pattern models and design of airplanes.  Now, a fluid dynamics researcher  (and his team) at Princeton have come up with novel observations and a mathematical formula that could lead to stronger weather predictions and far more fuel efficient airplanes.
