Question Base of cloud??
(OP)
Hey I just have a question. Can anyone please help me out...here it is....If the temperature is +14 degrees C, the Dew Point +2 degrees C and there is some surface heating producing convective cloud, what is the base of that cloud? (dry adiabatic lapse rate = -3 degrees C/1000 ft)
thanks
thanks

this is what ive gotten so far
surface temp = 14 degrees C
dew point temp = 2 degrees C
temp difference = 12 degrees c
so now do i divide it bt -3 and get -4 and multiply it by 100?

This site will give you more information than you need to know about lapse rates both wet and dry.
