What really causes daytime heating turbulence
With all those bumps, it must be the rising air currents. Not according to this guy....
"The heating of the day causes convective thermals to rise—but the turbulence is not typically caused by the rising thermals alone. It is the interaction between the thermals and the prevailing winds aloft that really make the bumps.
These thermals act as obstructions to the normal air flow similar to mountainous terrain. The prevailing wind must deviate around the convective thermals resulting in turbulent eddies. These turbulent eddies are then carried downwind some distance before dissipating. The turbulent eddies are what we feel as bumps. Therefore, the intensity of the turbulence is related to the intensity of the thermals and the wind velocity."
Do you believe him?
