| i am searching for any studies / info on the variation of rising
| versus sinking air & specifically the variation of the maximum rate of
| rising air within convective thermals.
| i am curious how this max lift rate changes with thermal size / total
| thermal energy. are larger "spikes" due to smaller isolated and thus
| more concentrated thermals?
| as a glider pilot (desiring to gain max altitude), for instance, would
| one prefer isolated thermal pockets of lift or broader areas of lift
| that span more area? or would these offer the same statistical
| expected maximum vertical speed rates?
| thank you.
