Description and Table of Contents
Description
Describes the physical processes leading to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability as a primary cause of clear air turbulence (CAT).
Provides a thorough description of the several factors that increase the CAT probability.
Covers in a comprehensive manner all the topics ranging from the discovery of CAT during World War II to modern techniques to observe and predict conditions conducive to CAT formation.
Touches on the great variety of proposed CAT detection methods along with their performance and limitations.
Suitable for a wide range of readers in physics, geo-engineering, meteorology, aerodynamics as well as in mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering interested in the phenomenon of CAT, its detection and its effect on aviation hazard.
