Figure 11-33.— Example of saturation adiabats on the SKEW-T Diagram, 



isotherm, label in 1500-meter increments (i.e. 

 30° = 1500, 20° = 3000, 10° = 4500, etc.). Next, 

 for each mandatory level enter the height value 

 from the code on its respective level and to 

 the right-hand side of the chart. Now plot each 

 height and enclose it in a one-eighth inch box 

 (□), remembering that every isotherm-iso- 

 height line equals 150 meters. (Note: In many 

 cases you will have to interpolate between two 

 isotherm-isoheight lines to arrive at the re- 

 ported height.) Finally, connect all the plots 



with a solid blue line. The completed line should 

 curve slightly to the right with height. (See 

 figure 11-35.) 



5. WIND DATA-Plot wind data as received 

 in the rawinsonde report on the open circles 

 of the wind staffs in the same color as the cor- 

 responding sounding curves, using the methods 

 described in the plotting section of this chapter. 

 Wind data at other levels, taken from the winds- 

 aloft report for the same time, may be plotted 

 on the solid dots if required.
