Climate Change Causing More Flight Turbulance ?
A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change in 2019 found that the amount of clear-air turbulence has increased by 15% since 1979. The study also found that the frequency of severe clear-air turbulence has increased by 20%.
Another study, published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics in 2020, found that climate change is causing the jet stream to become more wavy. This is leading to more areas of high and low pressure, which can create more turbulence.
The increase in turbulence is a safety concern for airlines. Turbulence can cause injuries to passengers and crew, and it can also damage aircraft. In some cases, turbulence has even caused planes to crash.
Airlines are taking steps to mitigate the risks of turbulence. They are using weather radar to track areas of turbulence, and they are making changes to flight paths to avoid these areas. Airlines are also training pilots on how to handle turbulence safely.
Despite these efforts, the increase in turbulence is a reality of climate change. Passengers should be prepared for bumpy rides when flying, and they should always buckle up when the seatbelt sign is on.
Here are some tips for dealing with turbulence:
* Stay seated with your seatbelt fastened.
* Hold on to anything that is not bolted down.
* Avoid standing up or walking around.
* If you are seated in an exit row, do not unfasten your seatbelt until the plane has come to a complete stop.
* If you are feeling sick, ask a flight attendant for a sick bag.
Turbulence is a normal part of flying, but it can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. By following these tips, you can help to stay safe and comfortable during your flight.
