Method for estimation of atmospheric turbulence encountered by airplanes utilizes wealth of data captured by multichannel digital flight-data recorders and air-traffic-control radar. Developed as part of continuing effort to understand how airplanes respond to such potentially hazardous phenomena as: clear-air turbulence generated by destabilized wind-shear layers above mountains and thunderstorms, and microbursts (intense downdrafts striking ground), associated with thunderstorms. Reconstructed wind fields used to predict and avoid future hazards.
