subroutine OTLFT (PBND, TBND, QBND, SLINDX)
 

Detailed Description

otlft() computes lifted index.

This routine computes lifts a parcel specified by the passed pressure, temperature, and specific humidity to 500mb and then computes a lifted index. This lifted lifted index is the difference between the lifted parcel's temperature at 500mb and the ambient 500mb temperature.

Parameters
[in]PBNDParcel pressure.
[in]TBNDParcel temperature.
[in]QBNDParcel specific humidity.
[out]SLINDXLifted index.
