What problem does it solve? Pilots planning UK general aviation flights need turbulence detail beyond what METAR/TAF gusts or the F215 chart provide, and assembling model data from multiple sources by hand is slow and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four turbulence mechanisms: Classifies mechanical (wind/gust), thermal (convective velocity scale w*), shear (including low-level jet and inversion signatures), and convective (CAPE-led) turbulence into light/moderate/strong buckets across 3-hour daylight periods. - Multi-source data fusion: Combines Open-Meteo ICON and GFS model fields with the optional Convek soaring API, falling back to a Deardorff w* estimate labelled "(estimated)" when no Convek key is configured. - Pre-digested output: Returns a formatted TURBULENCE ANALYSIS text block with period tables and headline summaries, ready to quote directly into a GA weather briefing. - Use Case: Given a route midpoint like "EGKA:50.835602:-0.297222", produce a same-day turbulence forecast showing the thermic window, boundary-layer top, morning shear risk, and CAPE peaks for a briefing. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the turbulence forecast for a location such as EGSL at 51.895, 0.448 and include the resulting analysis in today's flight briefing.
