cloud base calculation

Hi Steve

Im using a WS1081 for several years.

Did you add the altitude of the station to your cloud base calculation? It seems I'm missing the stations altitude (110m) in my calaculation.

No; Cumulus gives the height above ground level at the station (as defined by the WMO), not sea level: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#How_do ... ud_base.3F
