Lifting Condensation Level Height (LCL Height) Value-Added Product Report
Abstract
The lifting condensation level height (LCL, m) is determined from continuous surface-air observations of relative humidity and temperature as the altitude where the surface-air moisture equals saturation following a dry-adiabatic ascent. Values are computed from surface meteorological observations for 16 facilities belonging to the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory and for 133 Oklahoma Mesonet (OKM) stations. The LCL Height Value-Added Product (VAP) was developed for use by the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) project (Gustafson et al. 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020).
