Met Questions

Hello all. Am just doing some research for my Dragonair interview and have found a few met anomalies in the 'Ace Your Technical Interview ' book.

1) The book states that lightning strikes are more frequent at temperatures +10 c - 10c within 5000 feet of the freezing level, yet when I dusted off my ATPL Met notes it mentioned the figure was more like + 5 c - 5 c !

2) Along the same lines the book states that one of the requirements for a Tropical Revolving storm is the sea temperature to be + 26.5 c yet my notes are claiming it to be + 28.5 c.

I realise that Met is not an exact science but a defined answer would be nice.

Thanks Cav
