Experts have described turbulence as ‘common’ and asserted that it ‘rarely’ leads to fatalities.
Experts agree that climate change is making turbulence more frequent and intense. Here's what to know about why and how to stay safe.
Airplanes dropping dozens of feet in seconds. Chaos in cabins. Injuries and, in extreme cases, fatalities. Here’s how air turbulence can create problems for air travelers.
In meteorology, clear-air turbulence (CAT) is the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual clues such as clouds, ...
Whether or not the atmosphere has stability depends partially on the moisture content. In a very dry troposphere, a temperature decrease with height less than 9.8 °C (17.6 °F) per kilometer ascent indicates stability, while greater changes indicate instability. This lapse rate is known as the dry adiabatic lapse rate. [3]
The ENSO cycle has a huge effect on rainfall and snowfall patterns in California, especially during the winter and spring seasons. During the El Niño phase, the jet stream is located south through California, allowing for warmer temperatures and more heavy rains to occur, particularly in the southern portions of the state.
The Singapore Airlines flight of May 21 was not hit by clear air turbulence, but rapidly developing thunderstorms. According to the NTSB, between 2009 and 2018, the flight crew had no warning in ...
