Why is air turbulence getting worse?
Science Weekly
The Impact of Climate Change on Air Turbulence
Climate change is causing an increase in severe clear air turbulence due to the warming of the troposphere and cooling of the stratosphere. This results in a larger temperature difference between the two layers and strengthens the airspeed within the jet stream, making it more likely for airliners to encounter turbulence. As a consequence, the encounters are expected to become both more frequent and more severe, posing risks for particular routes in the future.
