- fnord77 2y agothat graph doesn't show severity
- roars 2y agothat seems to be just total number of incidents, not corrected for increased air traffic over the last 30 years
- olalonde 2y agoGood point.

The turbulence nowcast is not yet widely used so the NTSB recommended the FAA and the NWS work together to fully implement its adoption and use in the national airspace system.
