A tale of two press releases. One says the jet stream is slowing down, the other says it is speeding up. How can they both be right? In fact, as I explained in this talk at the Andorra Weather Meeting, there is no contradiction. The jet stream is changing in different ways at different altitudes.
Thanks @hcbloomfield19.bsky.social for the photograph!
Excited to be presenting our research on aviation turbulence and climate change at the UK Department for Transport this week.
Always great to be in Vienna for the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union.
Turbulence is the leading weather-related cause of aircraft accidents, as I explained at the Price Forbes Aviation Forum in Bogota last month.
Great to speak about the impacts of turbulence on aircraft at the Price Forbes Aviation Forum in Colombia this month.
Team Turbulence (me and two of my PhD students) at EGU in Vienna last week.
I enjoyed speaking about the jet stream and turbulence to weather presenters from around the world at the Andorra Weather Meeting this weekend!
Great to speak at the Price Forbes Aviation Forum in Bogota earlier this month. I discussed air turbulence and climate change. How bad can it get? Potentially quite bad, I think...
