Abstract
A summary is given of the present state of knowledge on the physical causes of clear-air turbulence (CAT). Special reference is made to recent measurement results from Project TOPCAT. Implications of these flight investigations, which were made over Australia, on remote sensing of CAT and on the planning of future research efforts are outlined.
