The scientific theory regarding severe turbulence between thunderstorms involves several factors. According to the CAU Aviation Blog Post, thermal air and thunderstorms can cause turbulence when warm, rising air encounters colder air or when jet streams meet [1]. Additionally, severe turbulence can extend up to 20 miles from severe thunderstorms, with greater turbulence occurring downwind rather than into the wind [2]. The Russian mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov proposed the first statistical theory of turbulence, which is an important area of research in this field [3]. Furthermore, a few studies have explored the relationship between turbulence intensity and the electric field intensity of thunderstorms [4]. The asymmetric turbulence theory with the concept of a vortical dynamo has been applied to calculate severe tornadoes [5]. A technique for predicting extreme turbulence within and around thunderstorms has also been proposed [6]. These theories and studies help to understand and predict the severe turbulence associated with thunderstorms, which is crucial for aviation safety.
