Humidity, the Dominating Force of Thermal Updrafts
Oliver Predelli, Ronald Niederhagen
TL;DR
This paper revises long-standing thermal theories by presenting new measurements that highlight the significant influence of humidity on thermal updrafts, challenging previous assumptions.
Contribution
It introduces a corrected model of temperature and humidity in thermal updrafts based on empirical measurements with a glider.
Findings
Humidity significantly affects thermal updrafts.
Previous thermal theories need revision.
New measurements provide updated understanding.
Abstract
Measurements with a glider show that thermal theories published for decades need to be revised. We present a corrected view of temperature and humidity in thermal updrafts.
