Thermal Wave 1998

Thermal Wave 1998

These pictures are part of a set taken by the Webmaster in South Western Nebraska. They show a Stemme climbing in a thermal wave. The wave was triggered by a strong shift in wind direction at cloud base which caused the clouds to act like an obstruction, forming the wave. The glider was able to climb to an altitude of 22,500 ft. The cu field below was at 14,000 ft. Pilot was Wolf-Dietrich Herold
