A8. For air with temperature and dew-point values given below in °C, find the LCL value (km). T, Td T, Td a. 15, 12 g. 5, 4 b. 15, 10 h. 5, 0 c. 15, 8 i. 5, –5
The value of Lifted Condensation Level (LCL) was suggested by James Espy in his famous Espy's equation.
LCL value is given by,
where T is the air temperature and T_d is the dew point temperature.
a) Given,
Hence, LCL value is,
g) Given,
Hence, LCL value is,
b) Given,
Hence, LCL value is,
h) Given,
Hence, LCL value is,
c) Given,
Hence, LCL value is,
i) Given,
Hence, LCL value is,
