The “Soaring Index” product provides hourly forecasts for the next seven days, assessing optimal atmospheric conditions for non-motorized flight activities such as gliders. This index is used in aviation to identify thermal lift areas and atmospheric movements that support sustained flight. Higher index values indicate favorable conditions for the glider to stay airborne longer, while lower values suggest less ideal flight conditions. Forecasting the “Soaring Index” is essential for safe and efficient planning of these activities, helping to mitigate risks and maximize flight performance.
