Air Turbulence

Air turbulence refers to irregular or chaotic motion in the atmosphere that causes sudden changes in airflow, often experienced as bumps or jolts during flight. It can result from factors such as atmospheric instability, jet streams, thunderstorms, mountain waves or temperature gradients. Air turbulence is studied in meteorology and aviation for its implications for flight safety, passenger comfort and climate-related changes in atmospheric circulation.
