Description CAT represents the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual cues such as clouds and is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different soeeds meet The atmospheric region most susceptible to clear air turbulence is the high troposphere at altitudes of around FL230 FL390 at point where it meets the tropopause At the high altitudes the clear air turbulence is most frequently encountered in the regions of jet streams At lower altitudes it may also occur near mountain ranges Clear air turbulence can be also indicated by thin cirrus cloud CAT forecast product presents information about the potential for encountering medium to severe CAT WAFC Maximum CAT in a selected flight level in up to three potential levels on the map NOTE The potential for encountering CAT presented to the user is determined by selecting a threshold level or up to three threshold levels Turbulence specific thresholds for determining severity levels of turbulence are listed below Value means potential of turoulence in percentage e Threshold for low severity CAT potential 5 e Threshold for medium severity CAT potential 9 e Threshold for high severity CAT potential 12 Coverage global multiple flight levels 3D product Threshold Legend Color Transp Sample 0 No CAT potential Low CAT potential Medium CAT potential High CAT potential Page 41 July 2015 Honeywell Honeywell Weather Inform
