The SAGA winter lecture series recently included a trip to the Adelaide BoM centre arranged by Jiohn Hudson, look thru their computer suite/radar sources there, and presentation by Peter Webb.
He referred to the 2001 computer generated daily thermal projection mapping for the contest area done for the Worlds at Gawler.
That such detail might be able to be made available on web regularly, but the gliding movement would need to fund the upfront set up/annual running charge
I seem to recall $3k/$1.5k/ann were the figures for that contest area, which encompasses much of South Australia used by glider pilots.
