Episode 30 of the “Aerospace Ambition Podcast” featuring Prof. Paul Williams (University of Reading) is out!

Talking Points
• What caused turbulence on the Singapore Airlines flight in May?
• How does climate change affect aviation?
• What is clear-air turbulence (CAT) and can it be predicted?
• What is the relationship between clear-air-turbulance regions and ISSRs? Is there the risk to avoid • one thing and divert into another?
• How have your algorithms reduced severe CAT events?
• Will turbulence change how people view aviation?

Guest
Paul Williams is Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading. Educated in physics to PhD level at Oxford, he specialises in atmospheric turbulence, jet streams, numerical modelling, and climate change. He co-developed an award-winning aviation turbulence forecasting algorithm that is now being used operationally, and he has pioneered research into the effects of climate change on turbulence. He has published two books and over 70 scientific papers in leading journals, including Nature. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Royal Meteorological Society, and he is a consultant to Guinness World Records on extreme atmospheric events.
