Invisible turbulence is generated by wind shear, or the colliding of air masses, which gets stronger at higher altitudes. Scientists predict that wind shear is increasing, and in turn creating ...

Turbulence is associated with fronts, wind shear, and thunderstorms. Here are the top 10 most turbulent globally.

Wind shear is the measurement of the difference in wind direction and speed over a short distance in the atmosphere. Wind ...

Air traffic controllers also warn pilots after another plane runs into clear-air turbulence. Upper-level jet streams are checked along their route for signs of wind shear. Some scientists note ...

Experts say climate change will increase turbulence in the decades ahead ... temperature between low and high latitudes "increases wind shear in the jet streams", which "enhances the formation ...

Turbulence is defined as "an irregular motion of the air resulting from eddies and vertical currents" associated with fronts, wind shear, thunderstorms or other weather events, according to the ...
