Preface
This book provides a compilation of recent work in the area of aviation turbulence research. The motivation for such a compilation was based on two highly successful internationally attended aviation turbulence workshops in the United States in 2013 and 2014 and four aviation meteorology workshops in Seoul, South Korea. Attendees included members of the research community as well as representatives from various government agencies and commercial entities (including airlines). These workshops made it clear that there has not been enough communication between the research community and users who need turbulence information to make operational decisions about where to fly. This book aims to foster that communication, by summarizing recent progress and encouraging future research in this area. In some ways, it is very similar in scope to the Proceedings of a Symposium on Clear Air Turbulence and its Detection held at the Boeing Company in Seattle, Washington, in 1968 edited by Pao and Goldburg (1969). However, there has not been anything similar published since then, which is surprising given the many scientific and operational advance
