        LCL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifted_condensation_level
        CCL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_condensation_level
        TCON Convection temperature=the surface temperature that must be reached
        to start the formation of convection clouds by surface heating.

            I was searching this topic as well and would like to know where there is a complete list of all abbreviations used on Windy? It seems like a very good app but the lack of meteorological information to help explain what the abbreviations mean at least is not helpful. I have looked all over the UI and still can not find anywhere this is listed however it may be my fault because there is way more info on this model than I am seeking as shoreline property owner/basic user. Nonetheless the wind information with our high water levels is paramount to all of us on the shores of Lake Erie. Thanks.

                  Hi,

                  I can see temperature and dew point lines (red and blue).
                  Is there also the saturated adiabatic? what are the other two grey lines?

                  thanks everybody,
                  Bye
                  Claudio
