In the first basic - physics attempt to study the impact, PPPL physicist Daren Stotler, working under PPPL's C.S. Chang, used an extreme - scale computer code to model how the recycled neutral atoms tend to increase turbulence in detail that had never before been possible. (pppl.gov)
This is due to increased turbulence caused by updrafts. (eos.org)
The issue adds to a growing list of aviation - related problems because of global warming, including increased turbulence, stronger headwinds and swamped airport runways due to rising sea levels, he said. (cnbc.com)
