THERMEX: Thermal Wave Experiment
Summary
The Thermal Wave Experiment (THERMEX), conducted in May and early June 1998, used a a unique high-performance motorglider to collect data above Boulder, CO. The German motorglider used in THERMEX was a Stemme S-10VT turbo with a variable propeller. The goal THERMEX was to investigate the fine structure of convective waves in relation to an underlying field of small cumulus clouds. A better understanding of thermal waves could lead to improvements in the forecasting ability of computer models.
