Functions/Subroutines
subroutine	otlft (pbnd, tbnd, qbnd, slindx)
	otlft() computes lifted index.

Detailed Description

otlft() computes lifted index.

This routine lifts a parcel specified by the passed pressure, temperature, and specific humidity to 500mb and then computes a lifted index. This lifted index is the difference between the lifted parcel's temperature at 500mb and the ambient 500mb temperature.

Parameters

[in]	PBND	Parcel pressure.
[in]	TBND	Parcel temperature.
[in]	QBND	Parcel specific humidity.
[out]	SLINDX	Lifted index.
