GFS (Global Forecast System) Global Model from the "National Centers for Environmental Prediction" (NCEP) |
| Update: |
4 times per day, from 3:30, 09:30, 15:30 und 21:30 GMT |
| Greenwich Mean Time: |
12:00 GMT = 13:00 BST |
| Parameter: |
Relative Humidity at 925 hPa |
| Description: |
This chart shows the relative humidity at 925 hPa, which is equivalent to an altitude of about 2100
to 2500 ft a.s.l. depending on the SLP. With the help of this map one is able to draw conclusions
on the portion of the sky cover formed by low-level stratocumulus clouds. Stratocumulus cover is
particularly hard to forecast on the backside of a trough. Therefore the 'RH 925 hPa' is an essential
supplementation to the 'RH 700 hPa' map.
