Climate change may contribute to the increase of turbulence.
The aircraft turbulence is usually not like ordinary passengers, and many even give up some flights just yet because of the unwillingness to endure those horrific feelings.
A new study from Dr. Paul Williams shows that now more people will be more prefer ground transportation because of climate change may contribute to the increase of turbulence.
In order to prove his concerns, the doctor conducted a computer simulation that showed that it is necessary to develop new routes for airplanes by the end of this century. It’s all in the CO2 level, which may soon become two times more then at an altitude of 12 kilometers turbulence will be felt much more strongly, which can lead not only to unpleasant sensations to passengers but also to more serious outcome.
As reported, as a result of climate change will increase wind gusts which will lead to instability and increased turbulence. According to the University of reading, where the doctor, in the power of the weak turbulence will increase by 59%, light-moderate 75, 94 moderate, moderate 127 percent, and heavy at 149 percent.
“My main priority for the future is to study other routes around the world,” says Williams: “We also need to study the altitude and seasonal dependence of changes for the analysis of different climate models and scenarios of warming for the quantitative assessment of the uncertainties”.
