Machine learning model predicts high-altitude clear air turbulence

Researchers have developed a machine learning approach to predict high-altitude clear air turbulence (CAT) in U.S. airspace. Utilizing pilot reports, ERA5 reanalysis data, and aircraft aerodynamic parameters, the study found that XGBoost algorithms achieved an AUC of 0.904. Geographic coordinates and turbulence indices were found to be the most important features for prediction, with winter months showing the highest incidence of CAT. AI

IMPACT This research could enhance aviation safety by improving the predictability of clear air turbulence.
