Clear-air turbulence happens most often in or near the high-altitude rivers of air called jet streams. The culprit is wind shear, which is when two huge air masses close to each other move at different speeds. If the difference in speed is big enough, the atmosphere can’t handle the st...

Prof Doug Drury from Central Queensland University explains air turbulence and discusses the latest research on the effects of climate change.
Turbulence can be caused by many different conditions – wind, storms, jet stream and objects near the plane, such as mountain ranges.These conditions can range from the surface up to all flight levels, and there is no real way to forecast this phenomenon or see it on a map. During my ...
What is Flight Turbulence? Turbulence occurs when an airplane hits a strong wind current. Like a wave in water, these air currents can push or pull the plane. Most commercial jets fly high enough to avoid most wind patterns, but occasional gusts can occur at any altitude. When this happens...
That quote sums up the whole problem with turbulence. The big picture is simple enough to understand — a plane bucking up and down — but if you want hard facts, it gets murky. Turbulence Is Chaos Here’s the basic problem: Turbulence is chaos. It’s what happens when a burst of kin...
as if in space. What's interesting is that the body is not actually weightless - this is just a sensation. Instead, the body is falling in such a way that it appears weightless in relation to the plane. It won't be like being in space or on a zero-G simulator, and it may ...

Is clear-air turbulence to blame for the chaos aboard Flight SQ321? Experts were hesitant to say if clear-air turbulence was to blame for the scene aboard Singapore Airlines' Flight SQ321. The airline said the death and injuries aboard the plane were caused when the aircraft "encountered sud...
Turbulence can range from light to extreme. (FOX Weather / FOX Weather) If you're a passenger on a flight that experiences turbulence, you may have different sensations when the plane is bumping around 35,000 feet in the air. LIGHT:Passengers may feel slight strain against seat belts. ...
