Abstract
A model for atmospheric turbulence is presented for the low level environment below 1000 ft alt which considers a wide range of meteorological and topographical conditions for possible influence upon the intensity of the turbulence encountered. While altitude has long been recognized as relating to atmospheric turbulence, it will be shown that the low level environment is far more complicated in that a number of other conditions have been observed which have an even stronger influence upon turbulence. In particular, it was found that atmospheric stability defined as a function of temperature lapse rate had the strongest relationship to LO-LOCAT with such conditions as time of day, terrain type, season, and altitude also having a significant relationship to the turbulence encountered.
