Default Please send me logs, stories of flying in thermal wave over the plains

I am researching shear wave and thermal wave.

For example, the WI glider altitude record was set by Ted Clausing in thermal wave.

For example, on 4/24/98, bases were 7000 msl, thermal wave took gliders to 16-20,000 msl over lower Michigan, and stacked lenticulars were seen.

If you understand how to predict where shear and thermal wave will occur, I'd be delighted to hear about that!

In any case, if you'll send me dates/locations of thermal-wave flights, and altitudes achieved, and a bit of story about the conditions, this would be wonderful. Attaching a log file would be a bonus.

Send to: dleroyj AT gmail.com

Thanks!

DrDan
