Understanding Tephigrams: A Guide to Assessing Soaring Conditions
Tephigrams are valuable tools for determining ideal soaring conditions by displaying temperature and dew point information versus height, assessing thermal activity, and understanding atmospheric stability. They provide insight into dry and saturated lapse rate curves, wind information, and the char

Understanding Tephigrams for Soaring Weather Forecasting
Tephigrams are essential tools for glider pilots to analyze atmospheric conditions for soaring flights. They display data on air temperature, dew point, and wind velocity, helping in assessing thermal activity and potential wave days. By examining tephigrams, pilots can determine the presence of clo
