Williams said it's unclear how climate change might be affecting mountain-wave or convective turbulence, but clear-air turbulence is becoming more frequent and intense. Thomas Guinn, chair of ...

That's why it's common to hit some bumps when you're flying over the Rockies on a transcontinental flight. Convective turbulence is generally associated with storms and is caused by warm air rising.

A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on July ...
