1At approximately what altitude above the surface would the pilot expect the base of the cumuliform clouds if the surface air temperature is 82 F and the dewpoint is 38 F?
a.) 9,000 ft AGL
b.) 10,000 ft AGL
c.) 11,000 ft AGL
b.) 10,000 ft AGL
explanation: Clouds will form when the temperature and dewpoint meet. The temperature and dewpoint get closer together with altitude, at the rate of 4.4 F per 1,000 ft. The difference between the temperature (82F) and the dewpoint (38F) is 44 F. 44 / 4.4 * 1000 = 10,000 ft. This means that clouds will form 10,000 ft above the altitude where the temperature and dewpoint were given. The temperature and dewpoint were given at the surface, so the clouds will form at 10,000 ft AGL.
