Describes the physical processes leading to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability as a primary cause of clear air turbulence (CAT). Provides a thorough description of the several factors that increase the CAT probability. Covers in a comprehensive manner all the topics ranging from the discovery of CAT during World War II to modern techniques to observe and predict conditions conducive to CAT formation. Touches on the great variety of proposed CAT detection methods along with their performance and limitations. Suitable for a wide range of readers in physics, geo-engineering, meteorology, aerodynamics as well as in mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering interested in the phenomenon of CAT, its detection and its effect on aviation hazard.

Time Series Analysis in Seismology: Practical Applications provides technical assistance and coverage of available methods to professionals working in the field of seismology. Beginning with a thorough review of open problems in geophysics, including tectonic plate dynamics, localization of solitons, and forecasting, the book goes on to describe the various types of time series or punctual processes obtained from those systems. Additionally, the book describes a variety of methods and techniques relating to seismology and includes a discussion of future developments and improvements. Time Series Analysis in Seismology offers a concise presentation of the most recent advances in the analysis of geophysical data, particularly with regard to seismology, making it a valuable tool for researchers and students working in seismology and geophysics.
