Description:This program computes the temperature of an air parcel raised dry adiabatically to the Iifted condensation level, LCL, and then pseudoadiabatically thereafter. The procedure is accomplished without aid of an energy diagram (Skew-T, Pseudo-adiabatic chart, etc.) using iterative computations on a Hewlett-Packard 67 hand computer. The iterative computations involve using finite difference to solve the energy balance equation for the ascending parcel. The program can be used in Iieu of an energy diagram for computation of atmospheric stability indices (e.g., determination of a thunderstorm gust potential). A sample problem and a computer program are in Appendix I.
