Intensification of winter transatlantic aviation turbulence in response to climate change

Intensification of winter transatlantic aviation turbulence in response to climate change, Nature, April 8, 2013. Using climate model simulations, researchers show that clear-air turbulence changes significantly within the transatlantic flight corridor when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is doubled.
