Cloud Height Calculator

Formula

To calculate the cloud height:

\[ H = (T - Td) \times 125 \]

Where:

\(H\) is the Cloud Height (feet)
\(T\) is the Temperature (°F)
\(Td\) is the Dew Point Temperature (°F)

What is Cloud Height?

Cloud height refers to the distance from the surface of the Earth to the base or bottom of a cloud. It is usually measured in feet or meters. This measurement is important in meteorology for weather prediction and aviation for flight safety. The height of clouds can vary greatly depending on the type of cloud and the current weather conditions.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Temperature (\(T\)) = 75°F
Dew Point Temperature (\(Td\)) = 55°F

Using the formula:

\[ H = (75 - 55) \times 125 = 20 \times 125 = 2500 \, \text{feet} \]

The Cloud Height is 2500 feet.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Temperature (\(T\)) = 60°F
Dew Point Temperature (\(Td\)) = 50°F

Using the formula:

\[ H = (60 - 50) \times 125 = 10 \times 125 = 1250 \, \text{feet} \]

The Cloud Height is 1250 feet.
