Other Levels » Equilibrium Level (EL) Skew-T Procedure for a Heated Surface Parcel
From the CCL, proceed upward along a saturation adiabat until intersecting the temperature profile. The pressure at this intersection is the equilibrium level (EL).

In this example, an air parcel lifted convectively by heating has an equilibrium level of 170 hPa.
