Abstract:This circular provides information on the subject of atmospheric turbulence and its corollary, wind shear. It emphasizes important points pertaining to the common causes of turbulence, the hazards associated with it, and the conditions under which its most likely to be encountered. Although occasional reference is made to visible signs of turbulence, such as cumuliform and lenticular clouds, this advisory deals primarily with the problem as it relates to comparatively dry or clear air. It does not deal with turbulence associated with thunderstorms or visible frontal weather except incidentally.
