Major study of Himalayan turbulence promises more accurate weather predictions

India TV News  

Scientists have been able to estimate the air turbulence parameters in the lower troposphere over the central Himalayan region for the first time, which is likely to make weather predictions more accurate and help prevent air traffic disasters. Also, precise knowledge on turbulence over this region will help in safe air traffic movements,” a statement by the Department of Science and Technology said. “Proper and timely information of the higher values of the atmospheric turbulence parameters and understanding of time and space distribution of turbulence structure in the troposphere could help improve performance of numerical weather prediction and climate models,” the study stated. “It is also important to model clear-air turbulence as that would aid in limiting the air traffic disasters, particularly over the complex mountainous regions,” it added.

Scientists Estimate Turbulence Parameters Over Central Himalayas, Will Help Better Weather Forecast

News 18  

For the first time, scientists have been able to estimate the air turbulence parameters in the lower troposphere over the central Himalayan region, which is likely to make weather predictions more accurate and help prevent air traffic disasters. While the turbulence parameters for southern India are known earlier, the same over the Himalayan region were not known, and hence some …
