Re: Qantas A330-300 SIN-PER in severe turbulence, 50 pax injured

There is also "clear air turbulence", which can also become very strong. This usually occurs near jet streams, where rapidly changing wind speeds with height can combine with an unstable air layer to cause "waves" of up and down motion in this air layer. ;) Wich can cause as wel...
