Studies show that climate-driven turbulence is expected to increase further in the coming decades. See how major flight ...

One type of turbulence, known as clear-air turbulence, can be especially difficult for pilots. Clear-air turbulence is a "typically very violent" phenomenon that occurs at high altitudes ...

Clear-air turbulence, unstable air pockets that offer little or no warning to pilots, is on the rise, the study found. Wind shears in the jet stream at cruising altitudes cause the turbulence that ...

Our new research suggests global warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of wind gusts from thunderstorm ...

As its name implies, clear-air turbulence can happen when there are no visible signs of a weather disturbance, often at or near the boundary of contrasting air masses, moving in different ...

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Yes, at least with clear air turbulence. According to Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading ...

As its name implies, clear-air turbulence can happen when there are no visible signs of a weather disturbance, often at or near the boundary of contrasting air masses, moving in different ...

Clear air turbulence, which is more challenging to detect, increased by 50% between 1979 and 2020. Based on the research alone that the occurrence of turbulence has increased, one could argue that ...

Turbulence is essentially unstable air that moves in an unpredictable fashion. Most people associate it with heavy storms. But the most dangerous type is clear-air turbulence, which often occurs ...

A particularly tricky kind of turbulence is known as clear-air turbulence. This kind of turbulence offers no visual warning like clouds or storms. For pilots, it’s the same as hitting an ...

Air Canada says nobody was hurt, but "moderate turbulence" on one of its flights from Vancouver to Singapore did make a mess of a passenger mealtime.

According to a 2023 study by researchers at the University of Reading in the U.K., clear-air turbulence has increased in regions around the world. Over the North Atlantic, which is one of the ...
