The turbulence there can be quite powerful. A tow pilot once remarked to me that there are two kinds of rotor turbulence: "one-handed turbulence," where you have one hand on the controls and the other on a fuselage strut to help keep you in the seat, and "two-handed turbulence," where you have <i>both</i> hands on the fuselage struts. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-29887521529885911762013-04-07T21:30:33.728-07:002013-04-07T21:30:33.728-07:00Hi Unknown -

If you head there and go for the Current Weather dropdown -> Data and Forecasts -> Radar, you'll end up here:<br />http://www.atmos.washington.edu/data/data.php?loc=radar<br /><br />And from there you can choose a radar station and then base radial velocity.<br />http://www.atmos.washington.edu/nnexrad/latest.cgi?ATX/NVEL1Gregulatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914887862625554702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-90024157966500152652013-04-06T20:17:49.301-07:002013-04-06T20:17:49.301-07:00Cliff, as a pilot I found this post very interesti...Cliff, as a pilot I found this post very interesting. Where can I find the Doppler wind charts like the one you showed? Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336265848247693199noreply@blogger.com
