Severe Bumping of Aircraft Caused by High-Altitude Atmospheric Turbulence,

Abstract

A detailed discussion is presented for the occurrence of high-altitude turbulence which caused severe aircraft bumping on the Budapest-Frankfurt-Main route. Various hypotheses on turbulence analysis developed in recent years are taken into consideration in an effort to give Hungarian aeronautical meteorologists better insight into this phenomenon and to formulate an approach to successful analysis of turbulence cones in everyday forecasting.
