Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wind shear causes clear air turbulence?

Yes. A reference article states directly that clear-air turbulence is caused by vertical and horizontal wind shear at the edge of jet streams, and several peer-reviewed studies link wind shear to CAT generation in specific regions and mechanisms.
