Dancing with the wind
I wonder if anyone has bought this book by Jean-Marie Clement ?
In S and G he tells of flying a Stemme S 10 in Chile, in very unusual lift to over 6000 m in summer clothing!!! This was lift generated by a vortex train behind volcanoes and is illustrated in his book. Imagine a V train of geese, the leader is the volcano and each bird is a patch of lift. This is the most significant discovery since what? It requires a strong inversion at the peak level and neutral stability above. Not cold in Summer clothing suggests a really strong and deep inversion layer. Some years ago I repeatedly used a patch of weak lift on the flank of Mt. Whiteface while failing to find wave in the usual place. I surmised at the time that this was a persistent vortex. Anyone else encountered this? Get your vaccine shot asap. John F |
