Which layer is used for the standard thickness chart?

  • A.1000 to 850 hectopascals, which represents the depth of the boundary layer over most lowland regions
  • B.1000 to 500 hectopascals
  • C.850 to 700 hectopascals, which spans the layer within which most low level cloud is normally observed
  • D.500 to 250 hectopascals

Answer: B

The 1000 to 500 hectopascal thickness spans roughly the lower half of the atmosphere by mass and is the traditional field for air mass analysis. Typical mid-latitude values run from about 510 decametres in very cold air to 570 in warm tropical air. The other layers are used for more specialised diagnostics.
