Does anyone have any experience or interest in mapping
thermals, finding hotspots etc, via software like Winpilot.
My first attempt, based on 600 igc files (!) has revealed
there are a lot of thermals out there...but I'm struggling
to derive any information from the data. What I'd
like to end up with is a 'probability map' that shows
the areas that have historically generated thermals
on multiple days...as opposed to sources of a single
thermal that have attracted multiple gliders (i.e.
a huge gaggle). I'm sure there must be folks out there
who have done more on this? I can't find a user group
that already focuses on this, so I've just started
one:
But if there is already an existing group, please let
me know and I'll join that!
Cheers
Chris
