@Ian W ... Turbulence that i referred to was weather trend expectation/prediction only. So your 'wake surfing'
will have to be studied in-parallel to that.
If the weather trend expectation's worst case would become true it would become in different game. It would require more flexible navigation (the foundation of which is developing all the time ... as you point out). But may also require operational/technological changes that are not yet (as far as i know) widely discussed today.
