DALLAS — Scientists at the University of Toulouse have predicted an increase in clear-air turbulence in the Northern Hemisphere as the climate changes. Climate experts utilized 11 climate models and 20 computer simulations to anticipate changes in clear-air turbulence under various scenarios of temperature rises ranging from 1 to 4 degrees Celsius. BoeingWhat Is Clear-Air Turbulence? Clear-air turbulence is commonly found near jet streams at altitudes of 10-12 kilometers, where commercial planes travel. Climate change is already affecting clear-air turbulence.
