1. A clear air turbulence detection system, comprising:

  • an image capturing element;

    a lens having a focal length adapted to focus a scene onto said image capturing element such that a combination of said lens and said image capturing element are adapted to optically resolve a visual distortion of a feature in said scene due to turbulence; and

    a processor adapted to process an image of said scene from said image capturing element, said processor adapted to compare a plurality of said images to detect a change in refraction of light received from said feature due to turbulence and produce an indication of an area of turbulence.
