Fig. 5: Percentage increase in the frequency of upper-level aviation turbulence (CAT, MWT, and NCT) under the specified climate change scenario.
From: Global response of upper-level aviation turbulence from various sources to climate change
The bar charts show the percentage change of MOG turbulence diagnosed by the 30 CAT, 14 MWT, and 2 NCT indices between 200 and 250 hPa for the 45-year future period compared to the historical period. The uppermost, middle, and lowest panels are for the global, extratropics, and tropics regions, respectively. The maximum, minimum, and median estimates between each type of turbulence are written in each figure (black: CAT, blue: MWT, and green: NCT). The order of turbulence diagnostics used is the same as in Table 1.
