Default Calcultaing thickness from SLP

No of course it didn't cause any inconvenience. I don't get me knickers in a
twist over such things. I was just amused after poor Gianna sends a
christmas card to us all, I poked fun at it and others were vexed by the
hour time difference thus creating a long thread. I bet she wished she
hadn't bothered. Then to top it all you were a day fast. It really doesn't
matter but it made me smile. Mind you it's bloody hard to find greenwich GMT
on the xp install list.

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.

See my previous appology in the thread Lawrence, just reinstalled XP and

set
the date wrong, I'm sorry it has caused you any undue inconvenience!
