Abstract

The symposium, the first of its kind, covered wake turbulence, clear air turbulence, wind shear, upsets, thunderstorms, and turbulence plotting. Presentations were given by renowned experts from the academic community, airlines, and Government organizations, ranging from reports of test on aircraft wake turbulence to scientific studies of the turbulence in the atmosphere and then to ways of transmitting turbulence information to pilots in a timely manner. The final report of the Symposium includes a highlight summary of each presentation. Attendees numbered more than 800, including representatives from 15 foreign countries. (Author)
