Abstract
The project’s purpose is based on how physics is applied in reality for flight safety, efficiency and sustainability purposes. The forecasting and verification of clear air turbulence(C.A.T.) is studied further to understand the demand of high-resolution forecasts by civilaviation. This was done by literature studies and interviews with pilots and meteorologists in Sweden. An alternative way of presenting the forecast data of C.A.T. is also presented. Abstractly, the significant weather charts provided by the World Meteorological Or-ganization (WMO) can be alternatively developed for a better presentation of the C.AT. regions. Additionally, the eddy dissipation rate (EDR), as recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization... (More)

Additionally, the eddy dissipation rate (EDR), as recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), would also contribute to better forecasts by making the verification of C.A.T. less uncertain. EDR is the main tool for making the slightly arbitrary description of C.A.T. to be more scientific and standard. In general, more studies of C.A.T. need to be conducted for further understanding of this phenomenon and how to safely and efficiently avoid it. (Less)
