In cumulus convective atmospheres most significant length scale of vertical motion is of cumulus draft size -- of horizontal lengths two to four orders of magnitude less than synoptic scale and of magnitude one to three orders greater; this draft motion on scales between gust and synoptic motion has been least investigated; new method of calculating draft velocities from aircraft is proposed.
