The other is clear air turbulence, which was involved in the Singapore Airlines incident.
As the name implies, clear air turbulence is hard to anticipate since it isn't associated with clouds.
It said that over a typical point, the most severe type of clear air turbulence increased by 55% between 1979 and 2020.
The increasing difference in energy between the two layers means more energy goes into the jet stream, Gratton said.
"Therefore crossing the Atlantic, climate change is making encounters with clear air turbulence more likely and more severe," he added.
