Post Speed of Sound

Some time ago, someone posted a formula for figuring the local speed of sound, I believe in knots that was simple and useful.

I can't remember what it was!!

Something like 39 x square root of the temperature in Kelvin?

Could a helpful soul re-post that formula with the particulars?

a = 38.967854*sqrt(T+273.15)
where T is the OAT in celsius.
