Introduction to the Skew-T log (P) Diagram - 2nd edition (now shipping) Preview the new Skew-T log (p) Program Thermodynamic diagrams are one of the absolute best power tools in the pilot's toolbox. Specifically, the Skew-T log (p) diagram tells more about what a pilot can expect than any other single chart or diagram. Icing potential, cloud bases, cloud tops, cloud layers, turbulence, non-convective low level wind shear, haze, instability, thunderstorm potential, precipitation type, cloud type, fog and visibility are just some of the weather elements that can be inferred by this diagram. The Skew-T diagram depicts the actual atmospheric temperature, dew point and wind (speed and direction) as a function of pressure (altitude) from NWS radiosonde (weather balloon) launch sites. More importantly, the diagram can be generated from the output of a forecasting model (such as the Rapid Update Cycle) to depict a forecast of temperature, dew point and wind as a function of pressure for many airports throughout the U.S. Having a forecast of these three basic elements can tell us a tremendous amount about the weather we might face. As a result, this eLearning opportunity offers an introduction to the Skew-T diagram. Here is a short list of the topics that will be addressed in this presentation: 1. The origin and use of each and every line on the
diagram
