Interesting, but is there anything new there? Soaring books published

What I got from the article is that the new model predicts sinking air
around the edge of the CLOUD. But most of our soaring is done below
the cloud so concentrated sinking air is not predicted in those
surroundings because the evaporation mechanism is not present there.

Actually, I've encountered sharp edged sink as I passed the cloud edge
when leaving a good Cu. Sometimes, this caused negative G. I suspect
the evaporation caused cool air downdraft extends well below cloud
base. I plan to pay closer attention in the future.
