Default Calcultaing thickness from SLP

There's a whole thread taking place further upstream about Gianna being 1
HOUR FAST!!. Blimey you're a full 24hrs fast. Well that's what's showing on
the post time.
Is that due to not being able to wait for christmas for a snowflake or two?.

To calculate thickness values in DAM I have always used the eqution
(1000mB - SLP ) * 0.87 )+ 500 mB height. Is this correct as I cannot
explain the 0.87 constant factor.
