Cloudbase (again)

Post by malc-c »

Tried searching, but most hits came up with how the cloudbase is calculated. I was wondering if there was a way to plot the cloud base and add it to the graphs section of V1.9.x (or 2)

Unless you are doing cloudbase by some kind of observational measurement, I don't see the point !

As has been stated elsewhere, the calculation is for the lowest (cumulus) type formation, which may or may not occur.

ie. the sky could be clear or have higher level cloud formation.

There's no way in Cumulus 1. I might make it plottable in C2.

Just that as the data is there, why not plot it. Be interesting to see how the predicted cloud base rises and falls.
