Select the button link to the report below and input the following info:

1. Select the button for a “Complete Report”
2. Select a RAOB station. (For the Anchorage bowl and the Valley, use Anchorage.)
3. Enter your best guess in F° for peak temperature for the day. If you anticipate flying thermals in the Chugach, add 4 to 8°F to account for the lapse rate. (Yes, there is a reason why the mountains generate better thermals.) If you are looking for wave prospects, do not adjust for lapse rate.
4. Enter the altitude limit for the Thermal Index calculation. 6,000 is more appropriate for thermal flying in Alaska. 18,000 and up gives a better indication of wave prospects.
