Summary
| Description |
Hundreds of Utah glider pilots rely daily on NOAA’s National Weather Service Salt Lake City aviation services, including soaring forecasts and observed surface and upper air wind information. For flight tasks varying from localized ridge soaring (pictured above) to mountainous cross-country flights of several hundred miles, NOAA’s NWS provides pivotal data and forecasts to maximize the safety and performance of these non-motorized craft. Here at the Flight Park State Recreation Area, hang glider and paraglider pilots take advantage of the consistent south winds to soar for hours along the ancient Bonneville shoreline. Pictured: Lisa Verzella, hang glider pilot and former NOAA Student Career Experience Program participant, glides past NOAA team members from the Center Weather Service Unit Salt Lake City, Colorado Basin River Forecaster Center, and National Weather Service Salt Lake City. |
