Interpreting the UA Maps:


These maps provide 8 different types of data at the UA stations.
Observations:
1.) Upper left (black) - geopotential height in meters (truncated)
2.) Middle left (red) - temperature in Celsius.
3.) Lower left (green) - dewpoint in Celsius.
4.) Winds in knots


The geopotential height numbers are truncated differently for different maps.
925 mb - (meters, no numbers needed to be added)
850 mb - (meters, but add a 1 to the front of the number)
700 mb - (meters, but add a 3 to the front of the number)
500 mb - (meters, but add a 0 to the end of the number)
300 mb - (meters, but add a 0 to the end of the number)


12 Hour Tendencies:
1.) Upper right (+ [rises], red | - [falls], blue) - geopotential height tendency (decameters)
2.) Middle right (+ [warming], red | - [cooling], blue) - temperature tendency (Celsius)
3.) Lower right (+ [moistening], green | - [drying], orange) - dewpoint tendency (Celsius)


Lift:
1.) Dewpoint depression in bold at the top if the dewpoint depression <= 5 Celsius.
