Tips for your answer

Link upper air phenomena with both weather forecasting and aviation safety instead of discussing them only from a geography perspective.
Remember Jet Streams, Rossby Waves, Clear Air Turbulence, Upper Air Cyclonic Circulation, ENSO, Madden-Julian Oscillation, IMD, WMO and ICAO for value addition.
Do not confuse upper air phenomena with surface weather processes or describe turbulence alone. Cover the broader atmospheric processes before linking them to aviation and disaster management.
