Thermal
A thermal column (or thermal) is a column of rising air in the lower altitudes of Earth's atmosphere, a form of atmospheric updraft. Thermals are created by the uneven heating of Earth's surface from solar radiation, and are an example of convection, specifically atmospheric convection. The Sun warms the ground, which in turn warms the air directly above it.
An EU team is helping Poland's Institute of Engineering develop clean energy technologies. Achieving knowledge-exchange through secondments, the project advanced the discipline in numerous important ways, while also upgrading equipment.
