Original research is underway for NCAR with a scientifically equipped Schweizer 2-32 glider to study interface between rotor and laminar flow of the mountain wave.

NCAR study performed with a Stemme Motor Glider and volunteerglider pilots from the Soaring Society of Boulder pilots to explore wave created by windshear and the blocking action of downwind cumulus clouds.

High altitude research flights by glider: one to 44,000 feet with volunteer pilots.

High altitude air sampling with Cessna 210, monthly.
