I read your sentence as: "You could calculate the cloud base from > temperature and dewpoint. And you could also calculate the airport > elevation from them" ... My sentence has a different meaning: If you know elevation and spread (spread: temperature at airport elevation minus dewpoint), then you can calculate the cloud base, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
