Washington Post - “Clear air” turbulence, which refers to violent and sudden shifts in air that are nearly invisible, has been increasing because of changes in climate caused by rising carbon emissions, research shows. Scientists at Reading University in Britain in a study published last year found that the duration of severe turbulence on one North Atlantic route had risen 55 percent between 1979 and 2020. Deaths caused by turbulence are extremely rare but have increased, Paul Williams, co-author of the Reading University study, said in a statement. “Our latest future projections indicate a doubling or trebling of severe turbulence in the jet streams in the coming decades, if the climate continues to change as we expect,” he said.He added that a “detailed analysis of the meteorological circumstances” of this incident will take some time.
