Occurrence frequency of subcritical Richardson numbers assessed by global high-resolution radiosonde and ERA5 reanalysis

<p>Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) is most likely to be the primary source for clear-air turbulence, which is of importance in pollution transfer and diffusion and aircraft safety. It is indicated by the critical value of the dimensionless Richardson (<i>Ri</i>) number, which is...
