BUMPY SKIES AHEAD:
TURBULENCE FORECASTING AND RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
DR LUKE STORER,
PhD RESEARCHER, UNIVERSITY OF READING
Event Abstract
Atmospheric turbulence is a major aviation hazard, costing the aviation industry millions of dollars each year through aircraft damage and injuries to passengers and crew. We know that climate change is impacting the weather globally and studies have shown it will increase Clear-Air Turbulence (CAT) over the North Atlantic. Therefore, in this session, the speaker will examine if this increase in CAT with climate change will be experienced around the world and at multiple flight levels.
With the changing climate, it will become more important to improve the way to forecast turbulence in order to maintain aviation safety. Therefore, the speaker will also discuss how using multi-model ensembles to forecast CAT can provide a better forecast for flight planners and crew with more useful information. The speaker will extend this further to show that including indicators for multiple sources of aviation turbulence (such as clear-air turbulence, convectively induced turbulence and mountain wave turbulence) will again increase forecast skill.
