Abstract
A summary of turbulence forecasting by the US National Weather Service (NWS) is provided. This chapter begins with a historical perspective, beginning with the Wright brothers and ending with NextGen. Following the historical perspective, present-day aviation-based meteorological operations are described. This discussion covers the services provided by the NWS and its partners and includes a foundational summary of present-day (2015) forecasting techniques. This chapter closes with a narrative on current and future prediction, built around numerical models and ensemble systems. These systems will drive intelligent information extraction and decision support services provided by operational meteorologists, leading to a safer and weather-ready airspace.
