An internationally agreed set of rules of meteorological forecasting for soaring flight is presented. Certain aspects of soaring flight are described. Forecasting of thermal convection (updraughts) and the influence of terrain, vegetation and surface moisture on soaring flight are discussed. A section is presented for wave soaring and wave characteristics, topographic influences and synoptic patterns for lee-wave development are described. Forecasting conditions for thermal waves and for slope soaring are also described. The use of weather satellite data as an aid to soaring forecasts and with the preparation, presentation and standardization of soaring forecasts is discussed. Examples of outstanding soaring flights with short discussions of their respective weather situations are also discussed.
