Cloud Base Height

The cloud base is the lowest altitude of the visible portion of the cloud.

The cloud base height depends on the difference between the dry bulb temperature and the dew point temperature. The smaller the difference, the lower the cloud.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["H", "b"], "Length"] == Quantity[124.67273407305822, "Meters"/"Kelvins"]*(QuantityVariable[Subscript["T", "db"], "Temperature"] - QuantityVariable[Subscript["T", "dew"], "Temperature"])

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Cloud Base Height"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Cloud Base Height"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Cloud Base Height"], {QuantityVariable[ \!\(\*SubscriptBox[\("T"\), \("db"\)]\),"Temperature"] -> Quantity[25, "DegreesCelsius"]}]
Out[3]=
