Whether you are on the ground or in the air, the phase "wind shear" should get the immediate attention of every pilot. How about when it appears in a terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF)? A pilot hears the term "wind shear" and immediately equates this with thunderstorms and turbulence. It’s a common misconception, but non-convective low level wind shear as it appears in a TAF is not usually a forecast for turbulence. Probably the most poorly understood forecast among pilots is one for non-convective low-level wind shear (LLWS). So what is non-convective low-level wind shear and why isn’t it typically turbulent? In this workshop we will explore how atmospheric stability plays a key role making this form of wind shear non-turbulent.
