Q

Temp conversions

A

C° to F° (c x 9/5) + 32
F to c (f - 32 ) x 5/9
For k to f just get rid of 273.15

Q

CCL LCL

A

LCL is forced lifting of dry air (dalr)
LCL= (400 x (st - dp) x 0.85
St= surface temp
Dp= dew point

CCL is convective lifting of unstable air ( start at higher temp and therefore must travel higher before cloud forms)
CCL = 400 x (st - dp)
