    John thanks for the reply. If you have a technical publication on precisely how the environmental lapse rate (-6.5 K/km) is derived I'd be very grateful. I don't have a copy of ISO 2533:1975 or ICAO Doc 7488 but the freely available US Standard Atmosphere 1976 appear not to explain the figure (obviously all the usual hydrostatic and hypsometric equations are there but I can't see how the 6.5 K/km comes into existence). Thanks.

    Origin / source. Can the number be produced by an equation such as can be done for adiabatic and pseudoadiabatic lapse rates? All I can find is a wiki article stating it is an average chosen for the ICAO ISA model.

    What is the provenance of the 6.5 K/km environmental lapse rate in the troposphere under ISA?

    http://www.ogimet.com/index.phtml.en Found one. Not an easy site to locate - posted here for benefit to others.

    Does anyone have a site archiving TAF/METAR/SPECI?

    Impressive stuff. Am I to take it that these gust fronts won't generally extend more than say 20 nm?
  7. utopia
    How far in front of a thunderstorm can a gust front extend? And are there any key 'signatures' by which it can be unmistakenly identified?

    I want a blank graph for the skew-T. For example, here's a blank T-phi: http://maths.ucd.ie/met/msc/Met-Labs/Colour-Tephigram.pdf

    Does anyone have a template skew-T to hand?
