Comments on: Was Air Canada’s Severe Turbulence Encounter Actually an Undular Bore? http://crankyflier.com/2008/01/16/air-canada-severe-turbulence-undular-bore/ Thu, 24 May 2012 07:48:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jason http://crankyflier.com/2008/01/16/air-canada-severe-turbulence-undular-bore/comment-page-1/#comment-24825 Jason Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:16:54 +0000 http://crankyflier.com/2008/01/16/air-canada-severe-turbulence-undular-bore/#comment-24825 The ABC 33/40 Weather Blog from here in Birmingham, Alabama is fantastic. Many of the routine posts would be primarily of interest to those of us in central Alabama, but their coverage of rare phenomena is great. Lead meteorologist James Spann is a member of my church and Brian Peters lives in my hometown of Helena, AL, both are very nice people in real life and do a lot to promote weather awareness and safety. A look under the Weather History category will include several weather-related aviation incidents; in their older blog format (2004-06) are several interesting recollections of the L’Express Airlines Flight 508 crash in Birmingham. Also read the posts about the December 20, 2007 gravity wave event in central Alabama for some fascinating information on this rare event.
