THE 850 MB CHART
For locations close to sea level, the 850 mb chart represents the top (or close to the top) of the planetary boundary layer. In the PBL, friction and turbulent motion eddies are common. The wind blows at a more constant speed and direction above the 850 mb level.

THE 850 MB CHART. METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY 850 MB chart is good for assessing low level warm air and cold air advection: 1. Advection is a function of height contour spacing, the temperature gradient, and the angle isotherms cross height contours (see farther down - paragraph beginning Thermal advection....) 2.
Constant Pressure Charts: 850 mb - National Oceanic and …
May 18, 2023 · Constant Pressure Charts: 850 mb. This pressure level is near an elevation of 5,000 feet, although it ranges from 3,800 feet (1,170 meters) to 5,200 feet (1,590 meters). As with all other constant pressure charts, the heights are in meters with the last digit (zero) truncated.

850 mb Plot | Mesonet - Oklahoma Mesonet
The 850 millibar (mb) map plots a variety of information collected by weather balloons and represents atmospheric conditions at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters (5,000 feet). The map displays: The air temperature (degrees Celsius) in red. The dew point temperature (degrees Celsius) in green. The height of the 850 mb level (decameters ...
Upper Air Pressure Chart Explanation and Analysis
Upper air charts are constructed for mandatory pressure levels in the atmosphere: 850 millibars (about 5,000 feet), 700 millibars (about 10,000 feet), 500 millibars (about 18,000 feet), 300 millibars (about 30,000 feet) and 300 millibars (about 30,000 feet). Meteorologists use these constant pressure charts rather than constant altitude charts ...
