Hi Jamie,

Yes, that is something I noticed, and was trying to explain.  None of the 
records that have timeObs
also have turbulence information.  Meaning it appears there are separate 
entries for those with 
turbulence info and those with time and location info.  I was trying to see if 
there was some other
field (like id or wmo header) that would show up on both records (turbulence 
and time/loc records) 
so they could be linked together.  I didn't have any luck with the fields I 
looked at.  But there 
might be some other way, maybe setting other options like the location and time 
on the request.
That's sort of what I meant by you might need to do some digging/playing 
around, to find a way to
connect the turbulence records with the other records, and I assume you're 
right that multiple 
turbulence intensities can be reported with one flight.  That would explain why 
there are more turb
records than timeObs records.
I hope this helps a little.
Thanks.
