Fig. 2: Global distribution of DJF and JJA aviation turbulence indicators at a typical cruising altitude under the specified climate change scenario.
From: Global response of upper-level aviation turbulence from various sources to climate change
The 45-year averaged selected turbulence diagnostics at 200 hPa for (a) DJF and (b) JJA averaged CAT (Ellrod1), MWT (MWT1), and NCT (CGWD). In a, b, the uppermost and the middle panel show results from the historical simulation and high-emissions simulation, respectively. The lowest panel shows the difference in the magnitudes of each turbulence diagnostic inferred from SSP5-8.5 simulation minus historical simulation. Stippling in the lowest panel indicates the significant difference at the 95% confidence level. Note that CGWD is directly obtained from the CGWD parameterization indicating the wave-breaking regions.
