Subtract glider descent rate to get average vario reading for cloudless thermals. Updraft strengths will be stronger than this forecast if convective clouds are present, since cloud condensation adds buoyancy aloft (i.e. this negects cloudsuck). W* depends upon both the surface heating and the BL depth Status Report Disclaimer
