An approximate value can be calculated by the following expression: Condensation Level (in feet) = [Surface Temperature(F) - Surface Dew Point Temperature(F)]*(1000/2.2) or Condensation Level (in meters) = [Surface Temperature(C) - Surface Dew Point Temperature(C)]*(200) Solution: Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR) => -5.5 F/1000 ft of altitude (-1C/100m) Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) => -3.3F/1000ft of altitude (-0.5C/100m) The SALR is not linear and varies with the initial surface temperature The Level of Condensation will occur at the altitude where the Air Temperature is equal to the Dew Point temperature at that altitude. Setting the two equations equal to each other will give an approximate value. TA: temperature at altitude; TS: temperature at surface; DA: dew point temperature at altitude; DS: dew point temperature at surface TA = TS-(5.5F/1000ft)*altitude or TS-(1C/100m)*altitude DA = DS-(3.3F/1000ft)*altitude or DS-(0.5C/100m)*altitude Setting TA = DA and rearranging quantities gives the equations given above The level of condensation derived by the above method will only yield an approximate value.

Is a altostratus cloud the lowest cloud?
No. The lowest-level type of cloud is fog.
Which is not a type of condensation fog cloud snow or dew?
The answer is snow because snow is a type of precipitation.
What type of cloud usually produces precipitation?
The clouds that usually produces precipitation are called cumulus, cumulonimbus and nimbostratus clouds. These clouds are in the lowest level of the atmosphere.
Which type of condensation nuclei are most likely to cause clouds to form?
Inglewood Familyz Lil Brazy F the Lok ! 2478 !
True or false are stratus clouds seen higher than altocumulus clouds?
Unlikely, since by definition strutus is a low cloud type while Ac is a middle-level cloud type.
Is a altostratus cloud the lowest cloud?
No. The lowest-level type of cloud is fog.
Is a cloud a type of condensation?
Yes, a cloud is condensation. Water evaporates into condensation (a cloud).
What is the lowest type of cloud in the sky?
The cirrus is the lowest type of cloud.
What is the lowest floating type of cloud?
what is the lowest type of clouds
What type of cloud would you expect to be in some form of precipitation?
A big. Cloud or condensation
Which type of condensation nuclei are most likely to cause cloud to form?
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are usually Sulfate aerosol (SO42- and methanesulfonic acid droplets).
Which is not a type of condensation fog cloud snow or dew?
The answer is snow because snow is a type of precipitation.
Is a tornado a type of cloud that forms circles around twists rotates and or circulates?
To a degree. A tornado is often made visible by a cloud known as a condensation funnel or funnel cloud. The tornado itself is not a cloud, however, but a violent rotating windstorm. The condensation funnel is sometimes absent in a tornado.
What type of cloud usually produces precipitation?
The clouds that usually produces precipitation are called cumulus, cumulonimbus and nimbostratus clouds. These clouds are in the lowest level of the atmosphere.
What type a cloud is at ground level?
Fog
What type of cloud occurs at the lowest altitude?
FOG! LOL I am learning that in class
Is cumulus low-level medium-level or high-level?
It is a low-level cloud type.
