Thermal bifurcation refers to the existence of `cool clouds' of gas (T<3500 K) at high altitudes in the solar atmosphere, within what was thought to be a uniformly hot (T˜7000 K) CHROMOSPHERE. It also refers to a cooling instability, promoted by carbon monoxide molecules, which operates in places where the chromospheric mechanical heating is weak. The cool clouds were discovered through the anoma...
