While there are established models of airflow in controlled conditions, we are lacking an understanding of the distinct airflows in natural environments, whose characteristics are highly influential for all forms of aerial activities. There is little data available for fine-scale analysis and representation of airflow outside the lab without the help of sophisticated and laborious airflow measurements. Here, we explore ways to exploit movement data of flying agents for this purpose, propose an approach to model and visualise thermal dynamics as a discrete localised airflow, and demonstrate our approach using data collected from paraglider pilots.Attribution 4.0 International License10.2312/eurova.202411176 pages
