õhukottides

õhukottides refers to the plural form of õhukott in Estonian. An õhukott, or air pocket, is a phenomenon that can occur in various contexts. In aviation, an air pocket is a colloquial term for a sudden downdraft or updraft that can cause an aircraft to momentarily lose altitude or gain it unexpectedly, leading to a sensation of dropping or rising for passengers. These are often caused by atmospheric turbulence, such as that found in areas of unstable air or near weather fronts. While the term "air pocket" might suggest a void of air, it is more accurately a region where air currents are behaving in a turbulent or unpredictable manner. Pilots are trained to handle these situations, and modern aircraft are designed to withstand such atmospheric disturbances. The term can also be used more generally to describe any enclosed space containing air.
