Dick:
I may be misled, but I know the full scale pilots I hang with agree with Thornburg.
The thermals(bubble/column of warmer/wetter air
from the generator - dark wet field) break loose and go up in altitude to the due
point, (higher alltitude lower pressure and lower
temp) at which point a
i believe its called atmoshperic inversion.

What you are saying has relevance in some cases
and would manifest itself more as thermal activity.
Wave air is created by moving air having to go
over objects such as a mountain, cliff, tree line
or a large building, just like on the slope
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your believable theory. I've flown my Escape right off the
beach in S. CT wondering all the time what the hell kept it up, at near
spec height. The plane was probably right over the water's edge and
flying like it was in wave. i.e. just hovering at windspeed. I
couldn't
This may be related to the 'onshore/offshore' wind effects. The water
is a temperature moderator, and is usually cooler than the shore.
During the day, the sun heats the shoreline nicely, and thus warms the
air above it, but the water temperature changes very little. This warm
onshore air
Just remember,
Every river of lift flows through an ocean of sink.
