Thanks for this reference. Its a little repetitive, but is a lot clearer
than the Science Daily story.

Yes, without the normal highs to push the jet north it has stayed lower
for the last two years. You need heat to generate the high to push it
north. I like sun spots! The soaring was fantastic in Utah in the
early 2000's when we had the solar maximum. Looking forward to more sun
spots soon.

Yes, that makes sense.

I learned to fly in 2000 - that and the following three years were really
great soaring seasons. So far its been downhill ever since on the weather
front.
