Re: skew-T diagram. LFC computation

THX for the comments.

The code that calculates the LFC is embedded in a fortran code.
It is rather complicated. I will make the code available to you
offline.

Basically, it picks the input level closest to the LFC.
If the input levels are far apart than there could be
a mismatch.
