Abstract: t 1034 UTC 2 September 2007, a commercial aircraft flying from Jeju, South Korea, to Osaka, Japan, at an altitude of approximately 11.2 km encountered severe turbulence above deep convection. To investigate the characteristics ...

Abstract: On 2 April 2007, nine cases of moderate-or-greater-level clear-air turbulence (CAT) were observed from pilot reports over South Korea during the 6.5 h from 0200 to 0830 UTC. Those CAT events occurred in three different ...

Abstract: The characteristics of aviation turbulence over South Korea during the recent five years (2003?08, excluding 2005) are investigated using pilot reports (PIREPs) accumulated by the Korea Aviation Meteorological Agency (KAMA). ...

Abstract: AbstractAlthough a terrain-following vertical coordinate is well suited for the application of surface boundary conditions, it is well known that the influences of the terrain on the coordinate surfaces can contribute to ...

Abstract: he forecast skill of upper-level turbulence diagnostics is evaluated using available turbulence observations [viz., pilot reports (PIREPs)] over East Asia. The six years (2003?08) of PIREPs used in this study include null, ...

Abstract: time-lagged ensemble of energy dissipation rate (EDR)-scale turbulence metrics is evaluated against in situ EDR observations from commercial aircraft over the contiguous United States and applied to air-traffic management ...
