The book is a comprehensive guide that delves into the realm of air turbulence and its detection methods, with a specific focus on their applications in aviation. It begins by providing a general overview of turbulence, encompassing its nature, causes, and effects on aircraft motion. The book also offers up-to-date research on clear air turbulence (CAT), a significant contributor to aviation turbulence. Furthermore, it delves into the physical processes underlying the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, a primary catalyst for CAT. The book categorizes CAT into different types and explores their impact on commercial aviation, emphasizing the structural damage to planes and injuries caused by turbulence.
The central theme of the book revolves around the latest CAT detection methods and techniques, encompassing remote and in situ sensing and forecasting. It also presents innovative technologies aimed at reducing aviation weather-related accidents. A chapter dedicated to the NASA aviation safety program's weather accident prevention project provides valuable insights. Additionally, the book concludes with a comprehensive description of recent research activities on CAT and the challenges that lie ahead in turbulence detection, prediction, and avoidance.
Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for pilots, aviation professionals, and researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of air turbulence and develop effective strategies for mitigating its risks.
