Turbulence is a normal part of flying, caused by various atmospheric phenomena such as uneven heating, wind shear, frontal ...

According to Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading, there's no clear data on how climate change is affecting mountain waves or convective turbulence ...

Get ready for the possibility of a little more shaking and bumping on your next flight, a study by scientists at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom suggests. Clear-air turbulence ...

Video and passenger accounts have painted a picture of chaos aboard Singapore Airlines Flight SQ321 after the passenger aircraft encountered what the airline called "sudden extreme turbulence.

And so if you're flying around more vigorous thunderstorms or trying to fly above them, it is very plausible that you would have more turbulence related to convection. That could be anywhere ...

Some gust fronts can be completely harmless or may be a precursor for an encounter with severe turbulence and dangerous low-level convective wind shear. The direction of movement of the gust front ...

The major issue with this is that normally pilots can predict convective turbulence based on moisture content in the air. Because clear-air turbulence isn’t caused by moisture patterns ...

At altitude, there are two main types of turbulence. One is caused by convective currents and is associated with thunderstorms. The other is clear air turbulence, which was involved in the ...

Thunderstorms can churn up the atmosphere and trigger “convective” turbulence in their immediate vicinity and also “near-cloud” turbulence up to tens of miles away, says Isabel Smith ...

the rising of warm air and descending of cool air creates convective currents. At high altitudes, planes can run into clear-air turbulence, which is dangerously invisible to the eye and to radars ...
