Thank you for that NOAA pointer, bookworm. Brilliant. When I get a bit of time I will compare their forecasts with the Unibas forecasts. The really fun thing (for some) would be to do a historical comparison of these two sites against real ascents...
I agree the rules I posted are rough. However, the forecast itself is very rough. A single skew-t chart, with an MSLP chart, can tell one more about the atmosphere that just about anything else. It therefore follows that if a skew-t forecast was ever exact, chaos in the atmosphere would be abolished and weather forecasters would be out of a job
