In the 'Aerodromes' section of the UK AIP, for most of the fairly major airports, there is an entry at the start of each airport listing:"Elevation and Reference Temperature".
What's "Reference Temperature"? For instance, Leeds and Bradford has an elevation of about 680 feet and a Ref Temp of 19 degrees Celsius. I can't relate that to anything sensible.
And, by the way, I have tried looking in the AIP for a key or explanation, but I can't find one. I don't know whether I've missed it, or whether there isn't one.
I suppose I could always write to the CAA and ask them, but does anyone know?
