RISE OF AN AIR BUBBLE (A THERMAL)
IN THE ATMOSPHERE

We  elucidate  the behavior of large regions of  warm  air 
(thermals) rising  in  the earth's atmosphere. It is found 
that  inside  a  uniformly  rising  large spherical bubble 
rotational  motion  of  the  air arises  around  a central 
vortex line located in the equatorial plane of the bubble. 
We  determine  the  total  energy  of  the rise process of 
a thermal.
