Potential Temperature Vertical Profiles
Forecast relative to the night starting on 2026/06/14 MST
Note: click on a figure to magnify the image. Date of figures refers to the start of night in MST.
Vertical profiles of the potential temperature are computed in the [0-20km] range above ground level (a.g.l.) and centered on the LBT. Data points frequency is 2 minutes.
TIME AVERAGES:
Three time averages are presented, computed in the first, central and last part of the night (see partition).
The corresponding Mountain Standard Time (MST=UT-7) is shown on the top of the figure.
The blue light halo around each average represents the +/- sigma in the respective time window.
Fig. 4 represents the three time averages in the same plot with different colors to better appreciate the macroscopic changes in the three temporal intervals.

Fig. 3: Average potential temperature in the “last part of the night”.
