Remote thermal detection
I've seen enough soaring birds make a beeline for a thermal 1/4 mile away from them that I have to believe there is something visible, at least in some cases. Perhaps a creative optical solution might work if we find the right wavelength and polarization?
I also spent many happy years playing with the electric fields around clouds and sadly think they will be too chaotic around turbulent thermals to be any use. Mike
