Temperature/Levels » Convective Temperature (Tc) Skew-T Procedure

Skew-T procedure to determine convective temperature

From the convective condensation level (CCL) on the temperature profile, proceed downward along a dry adiabat to the pressure level at the surface. The temperature read at this intersection is the convective temperature (Tc).

In this example, the CCL lies at 750 hPa and the convective temperature is 20°C.
