It was one of the bumpiest flights I've been on and our pilot took the opposite tack. Assigned altitude was 38000, but after severe turbulence at 34000 he descended to 28000, then down to 24000, and the last half of the flight was at 22000. Even at that altitude we had a number of very rough patches of air.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355839056690204486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-67271137627655018892016-02-15T16:37:22.102-08:002016-02-15T16:37:22.102-08:00When you travel, do you offset your carbon?

I would like to but the little online research I've done seems to indicate the various carbon offset schemes are more or less ineffective.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558422473913058541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-70410727912838565582016-02-15T16:14:25.267-08:002016-02-15T16:14:25.267-08:00If you are referring to the flight advisor data I ...If you are referring to the flight advisor data I would guess the wind speed is derived from available measurements. The data in the chart are recorded onboard the craft and probably derived from the difference between ground velocity (velocity of the plane relative to the earth) from GPS and air velocity (velocity of air relative to the plane) derived from the airspeed and heading instruments on the plane itself.

Is it all model data? Or does it combine radiosonde or other ground-based observations? Or perhaps some satellite magic?<br /><br />I've always been curious about the problem of getting a ground truth for large scale phenomena like this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938948298429975909noreply@blogger.com
