Consider an air parcel. If it is warmer than its surrounding it will rise. The Thermal Index is derived based on the temperature difference between the air parcel and its surrounding. It is commonly used to indicate the soaring conditions at various heights.
Soaring Index Tips
(Soaring Conditions)


The Soaring Index is commonly calculated using weather information between 5000 feet ( 1524 meters ) and 20000 feet ( 6096 meters ) to measure the lift offered by convective clouds.
