OCCURRENCE AND CAUSES OF HIGH-LEVEL TURBULENCE

Abstract

The project has been organized in three phases: (1) photographic field measurement program, (2) aircraft measurements, and (3) synoptic and theoretical studies on clear-air turbulence (CAT) and atmospheric mesostructure. The re search results of this project have been published previously. The findings are summarized and recommendations as to application of results and areas of future research are given.
