Wind Gradient
Looks like surface winds at 6 kts up to 47 kts at 18,000' MSL, all pretty
much perpendicular to the mountains. Hope there's enough thermal activity to climb into the wave... ;-P

Wind Gradient
The day was a bust. There were some rotor clouds about 50-50 miles away,
but nothing within range. I stayed on the ground and will try tomorrow. "son_of_flubber" wrote in message ...

As a rule of thumb look for the height of the inversion, if any. That will give you an idea of the bottom of the wave.
