Default New kind of thermal studies?

What you say is valid for many "climate" studies. Those who challenge
the current climate hysteria are generally shouted down.

Flame suit on.

I read the original paper as subject is interesting. I'm surprised they outright assumed that windspeed in thermal is same as windspeed outside thermal (obviously it is not, that would give us only perfectly round and symmetrical thermals). Their assumption was never challenged because they had absolutely no other source of information regarding 3D wind within airmass other than surface observations. They make some funny observations that are obvious to every glider pilot like vultures use mainly the best thermals, not average ones. No **** sherlocks. What a waste of someone's money this is.
