What is the condensation level?

Question

If the temperature at the surface is 20 degrees Celsius and the dew point oat the surface is 8 degrees Celsius, what is the condensation level?

Answer 1

we can use Normands Theorem to Calculate the cloud base. Simply multiply the difference between ambient air temperature and dew point temperature by 400. Your answer will be cloud base in feet above ground level.

Air temperature = 20 C

Dew Point = 8 C

then:

20 - 8 = 12 C

so 12*400 = 4800 feet.

So that means the cloud would be formed well at the height of 4800 ft above ground level.
