Turbulence

Hydraulics – the haphazard secondary motion caused by eddies within a moving fluid.

Meteorology – irregular motion of the atmosphere, as that indicated by gusts and lulls in the wind.

“Atmospheric scientists define “turbulence” as “a state of fluid flow in which the instantaneous velocities exhibit irregular and apparently random fluctuations.”

Those “irregular fluctuations” of the air create the bumps.”
