Which feature on a sounding indicates the depth of a cloud layer?
Answer: B
The layer in which temperature and dew point coincide is saturated and therefore cloudy, and its vertical extent gives the cloud depth directly. A dry adiabatic lapse rate indicates a well mixed layer, which may or may not be cloudy at its top. Reading cloud base, top and depth from a single plotted sounding is among the most useful practical skills the diagram provides. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
