When an airplane flies through irregular and violent waves of air, it
bounces around and yaws. It’s like two seas meeting, causing waves and current.
A boat passing by those meeting seas would bounce on the water. Airplane
turbulence is the invisible incidence of the same.
The irregular and rapid movement of air that causes airplane turbulence can
be formed by any number of different conditions including thunderstorms, jet
streams, mountain waves, warm or cold fronts, microbursts or atmospheric
pressures. In other words, airplane turbulence is caused by the irregular
movement of air created by the collision of different pressures or streams of
air.
Many of us have who have traveled by an airplane have experienced
turbulence. It’s always disconcerting when an airplane starts to toss around,
but really there is little to fear.
