Meteorological Conditions Associated with Flight Measurements of Atmospheric Turbulence

BERNARD HELFAND

Abstract

The results obtained from a series of flight measurements of atmospheric turbulence within convective-type clouds and from meteorological soundings are presented together with descriptions of the flights and concurrent weather conditions. These results are presented to provide a background of experience for the forecaster and pilot by illustrating the turbulence conditions as indicated by effective gust velocities in convective-type clouds under spring and summer weather conditions along the eastern coast of the United States (p. 1).
