Re: [flite] A high pressure ( blue sky day ) will create a better more defined burble than a cloudy day
It's called micrometeorological phenomena. It was what used to cause the large freefall formations to potato-chip and funnel. We got smart and went to skintight suits. Maybe you need a smaller PC on a clear day... Let us know how your experiment goes.

So on a high-pressure day a 13k-down-to-3k true AGL jump at a 0' MSL dropzone could have basically the same air density experience as a 12.5k-down-to-2.5k true AGL jump at the same dropzone on a low-pressure day?

I don't know how we ever coped with this before.
