Hardback. Editor(s): Sharman, Robert; Lane, Todd. Num Pages: 490 pages, 50 black & white illustrations, 50 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHVJ; TRP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
Anyone who has experienced turbulence in flight knows that it is usually not pleasant, and may wonder why this is so difficult to avoid. The book includes papers by various aviation turbulence researchers and provides background into the nature and causes of atmospheric turbulence that affect aircraft motion, and contains surveys of the latest techniques for remote and in situ sensing and forecasting of the turbulence phenomenon. It provides updates on the state-of-the-art research since earlier studies in the 1960s on clear-air turbulence, explains recent new understanding into turbulence generation by thunderstorms, and summarizes future challenges in turbulence prediction and ...
