PPL Met question
Hi all, I recently passed my Airlaw exam, and have now been studying for met. Iv just finished the chapter on clouds in the book, and used the confuser to test my knowledge on the chapter. I did fine on most of the questions but one of them that came up puzzled me and I was wondering
if someone could give me a hand. The question was;
Given a surface temperature of 21 degrees C and a dew point of 7 degrees at approximately what height will the cloud base of a cumulus cloud be
a) 560 feet
b) 56,000 feet
c) 6500 feet
d) 5600 feet
D - 5600 feet is the correct answer, why is this?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
