Do you get less; or no turbulence when flying above clouds

as far as l no none

l think its less because the atmospheres thinner


simple :P

l am sorry bud. but clouds are not what cause turbulence.

Black clouds are droplets of water suspended in the air. White clouds are tiny ice crystals suspended in the air. They vary in density. When a plane flies through them, the pressure above and below the wing keeps changing so the plane bounces about. Once above the cloud layer, the air density in fairly constant so there is less turbulence.

Non, as it is the density of the clouds that cause turbulence.

It truly depends on flight conditions, weather and other environmental factors. l can tell you that - most of the time - you will get LESS turbulance when flying above clouds, yet you have to keep in mind that clouds vary in altitude. Turbulence can also occur in cloudless conditions, for pilots, clouds are avoided mostly due to their limiting visibility.

:)

slighty less because its pockets of air in the clouds and atomspere that causes it so when you get higher the atomsphere is thinner

Turbulence is the up-and-down air currents that help to mix the air in the troposphere. It is usually mentioned in the context of airplane flights, where these air currents can feel like ''bumps in the road'' while flying. Turbulence can occur in the lowest part of the troposphere during the daytime when heating of the sun causes convective mixing of the air. Once the airplane rises above this turbulent ''boundary layer the air becomes smoother. But other processes can also cause these up- & down-drafts. One example is convective clouds. If an airplane must fly through a thunderstorm, these updrafts & downdrafts can be very strong. There is also ''clear air turbulence which can also become very strong. This usually occurs near jet streams, where rapidly changing wind speeds with height can combine with an unstable air layer to cause ''waves'' of up & down motion in this air layer.

Less to none depending how high above the clouds and what type of clouds. You can experience turbulence up to high 20.

Turbulence is not caused by clouds. As previously answered u can get severe air turbulence well above any clouds.

Clear air turbulence weather (CAT), sometimes colloquially referred to as ''air pockets is the erratic movement of air masses in the absence of any visual cues, such as clouds. Clear-Air Turbulence is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different speeds meet; at high altitudes (7,000-12,000 metres/23,000-39,000 feet) this is frequently encountered around jet streams or sometimes near mountain ranges. Clear-Air Turbulence is impossible to detect either with the naked eye or with conventional radar, meaning that it is difficult to avoid.

yes, absolutely. and absolutely not.

you will have less but you can not avoid it

It depends mostly on the type of cloud. It is generally more turbulent above the clouds if the cloud is not dropping rain.
In the upper levels of the atmosphere there is plenty of jet streams, which are known to be the strongest winds on Earth, even stronger than a tornado.

1)Less - compared to what?
If you compare with turbulence within a CB, then yes, it is less.

2) No turbulence - calm turbulence free air can be encountered anywhere, regardless of clouds being below you or not..

Clouds are a result of an unstable air mass so turbulence is experienced within them often. Above clouds, as the air cools and stabilises, the ride generally becomes smoother. Pilots often report being ''in the tops'' to air traffic control, which means they are literally in the very tops of the cloud, and are experiencing turbulence they'd like to climb out of to clearer air above.
