Moderators StretchCT Posted January 9 Moderators Share Posted January 9 (edited) 5 minutes ago, clm said: So 10m is 10 meters than? Correct - they measure wind at 10m and temps at 2m. Why we can't just have one standard of measurement is beyond my paygrade. Meters/feet, km/miles, C/F, mb/inches and my fave m/s vs kt vs mph They gotta make it difficult. Measuring altitude in millibars is insane. It constantly changes. Edited January 9 by StretchCT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, ALL vocations have their "jargon" which they use so as to sound like they know what they are talking about (and the audience does not) - they taught me that in the Train the Trainers classes I had to take 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That HAD we had a HP "over top" this would have, in fact, played the JAX Rule Without the thermal contrast though the LHR is not as impressive as if there were a contrast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
