"Wind 285 at 186"
"Wind 285 at 186".
That's the highest I've ever seen outside a hurricane. I was coming from the Windy City going south to the Sunshine State at FL330 and crossing the jetstream. The ride through it wasn't too bad, just occasional light chop. I'm sure glad I wasn't westbound! D. |

Chip, ZTL A little mountain wave action? Rotors? -- Jim in NC Taking Kennesaw "Mountain" and Stone "Mountain" out of the equation, you need to get pretty far North in Georgia (75 miles from Atlanta, at least) to find anything more than 500' hills... I'd guess wind shear was the source of any turbulence. KB |

Wrong? -- Jim in NC True (even farther, but the amplitude decreases as you go farther downwind. The rotor is at ridge level. There can also be a lot of wave turbulence at the tropopause but that would be above 310. Turbulence in the middle flight levels is usually shear unrelated to mountain waves. The mid flight levels are in the laminar portion of mountain waves and it is amazingly smooth there. Mike MU-2 |
