Robb Kaczmarkek and Jennifer Stroozas: Turbulence PIREPs are very subjective. @NWSAWC's Eddy Dissipation Rate is objective and allows pilots to make decisions regarding turbulence. https://t.co/ABBSU0CzPn

Kaczmarek @NWSCWSUZLC : You don't need a strong jet stream to get a mountain wave. We're mainly concerned with the mountain-top wind speed. These waves can stay low or go as high as 40,000 ft.
#IWAWS2024
Let's welcome back Robb Kaczmarek from @NWSCWSUZLC who will talk on the subject of Turbulence 101 - Satellite Identify & Jet Stream Configurations.

Johnston: You can submit your PIREPs through the @NWSAWC at https://t.co/VkxA3ePyPR under the tools tab. Make sure you are detailed as possible! The more detail, the more useful the PIREP will be for other aviators, aviation meteorologists, and ATC.

Van Horn: What are Digital Aviation Services? Graphical forecasts of ceilings, visibility, and low level wind shear. They provide guidance for airports that don't have a TAF. Check out these graphics @NWSSpokane's Aviation Weather Dashboard:
