Clear-Air Turbulence and Sporadic E Activity

Clear-Air Turbulence and Sporadic E Activity

Pilots' reports of clear-air turbulence correlate inferentially with sporadic E activity observed by backscatter radar. A cursory survey was made of 19 reports of turbulence between 1 and 20 August 1964 over the western United States; all but three correlate with sporadic E patches.
