Description: Lifting Condinsation Level or LCL
Off the coast of southern california we often get an Atmospheric occurrence called the
“Lifting Condinsation Level”. This proccess is caused when the rising air from the earth
experiences a drop in temperature. This drop in temperature is caused by the decrease of
pressure in the surrounding atmosphere. The relative formula for this rising and cooling is
5.5 degrees F for each 1,000 feet. When the air raises high enough and cools down to the
point where its relitive humidity is 100% a water droplet is formed, this is its “DEW
POINT”. You can see this Dew Point or Lifting Condinsation Level when the clouds in
the sky look like they are sitting on an invisible table in the sky.
