Can clouds cause turbulence?
Severe turbulence in level flight does not impart sufficient forces upon modern aircraft to cause a crash. It nevertheless imposes a risk of injury to the passengers and crew. There have been hundreds of documented cases during severe turbulence in which unrestrained passengers and crew (without their seatbelts fastened) were "thrown" about the cabin leading to serious injury and death (1). There is a special form of turbulence, called windshear (also known as wind shear), which presents a potentially high risk to the aircraft itself, and a particular form of windshear, called a microburst, which has proven catastrophic to aircraft during final approach for landing. Microbursts are especially vexing because they are extremely powerful, localized, and they manifest themselves quickly and without warning. For example, Delta Airlines flight 191, a Lockheed L1011 that crashed at Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas, USA on 2 August 1985, encountered a microburst near the end of the runway less that two minutes after an earlier aircraft landed safely on the same runway without experiencing the microburst. (2). Microbursts are such a serious concern that modern airports and airplanes are equipped with windshear detection and alert systems that advise air traffic controllers and pilots of potential windshear conditions. 1 - Source: http://www.fss.aero/accident-reports/browse_keywords_results.php?cb_key=cb_flt_attendant 2- Source: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001214X37434&key=1
What are some examples of the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and mesosphere. Examples of phenomena found in the stratosphere include the ozone layer, which helps protect Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, as well as the presence of high-altitude clouds called noctilucent clouds. Commercial airplanes often fly in the lower stratosphere due to its stability and lack of turbulence.
Natural convection and turbulence are most likely to occur when?
Natural convection and turbulence are most likely to occur when there are significant differences in temperature or density within a fluid. This can lead to the formation of convection cells and vortices, which contribute to turbulence. Factors such as heating, cooling, and mixing can also enhance natural convection and induce turbulence in a fluid.
What limits the ability of the 5-m telescope at Palomar Observatory to collect starlight?
The Hale Telescope is a 5-m reflecting telescope at the Palomar Observatory. Some factors that limit its ability to collect starlight are light pollution, turbulence in the atmosphere, daylight and clouds.
What cloud types would indicate convective turbulence?
Towering cumulus clouds.
What type of clouds have ripples arranged in lines?
Altocumulus clouds, specifically altocumulus undulatus, can have ripples arranged in lines. These clouds often occur at mid-level altitudes and are associated with atmospheric instability and turbulence.
Why does an airplane shake when it passes through clouds?
It might shake only when passing through turbulence. Clouds may or may not be turbulent. Pilots learn which are and which are not turbulent. Clouds that occur in even layers are very smooth. Thunderheads and lenticulars are often violent and are usually best avoided.
If an unstable air mass is forced upwards what type clouds can be expected?
If an unstable air mass is forced upwards, you can expect cumulonimbus clouds to form. These clouds are associated with thunderstorms and can bring heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds. The instability in the air mass allows for rapid vertical development of these clouds.
Why do the clouds spin in Microsoft Flight Simulator?
Clouds spins due to wind turbulence. I real life, it creates the after effect illusion of any matter that moves, e.g. cars can produce a drag once it runs at a certain speed,
How are dark clouds different from white clouds?
Dark clouds are usually associated with precipitation and thunderstorms, containing high levels of moisture and turbulence. In contrast, white clouds are typically associated with fair weather and consist of water droplets or ice crystals. Dark clouds tend to block more sunlight and can result in cooler temperatures compared to white clouds.
What hazards do cumulonimbus clouds pose to aircraft?
Cumulonimbus clouds can pose hazards to aircraft in the form of severe turbulence, strong winds, lightning strikes, and hail. These clouds are associated with thunderstorms and can lead to dangerous flying conditions, making it important for pilots to avoid flying through or near them.
What types of environments would you simulate in a flight simulator?
In flight simulators are external environmental factors like the air density, turbulence, clouds or precipitation simulated to check how the pilot reacts to this.
How do you put turbulence in a sentence?
Planes are built to resist turbulence.
When was Turbulence Records created?
Turbulence Records was created in 2005.
When was Turbulence - song - created?
Turbulence - song - was created in 2010.
When was Turbulence released?
Turbulence was released on 01/10/1997.
