They’re routinely reviewing pilot reports and asking Air Traffic Control (ATC) for reports of turbulence, and they’ll go so far as to change their route of flight or altitude fairly dramatically to find smooth air. The next weather phenomenon to consider is thermals. Ever flown over a large, paved parking lot?
