Cloud base/cloud ceiling for VFR pilots and their cloud tops
-
Fairly new to Windy, and just subscribed to premium if that allows me to see more features?
What do people use to estimate cloud tops? I understand the difference between cloud base/ceiling and their associated octas but i'm struggling to really understand cloud tops etc.
As background I am a flight instructor, and I would like to know how to use cloud features to my benefit. Generally I like to know how low the clouds will be, and their vertical extent. What do other VFR pilots look for in cloud maps? -
