A method for determining Richardson Number, Ri, or its reciprocal, RRi, for clear air prediction using measured potential temperature and determining the vertical gradient of potential temperature, d.theta./dz. Wind vector from the aircrart's instrumentation versus potential temperature dW/d.theta. is deter- mined and multiplied by d.theta./dz to obtain dW/dz. Richardson Number or its reciprocal is then determined from the relation- ship Image for use in detecting a trend toward a threshold value for the purpose of predicting clear air turbulence. Other equations for this basic relationship are disclosed together with the combination of other atmospheric observables using multiple regression techniques.
