The shape of the modelled column above this mountain: temperature and wet-bulb against
height, humidity beside it, and four restrained readings of what that shape is. Up to nine
requested pressure levels, sparse and terrain-filtered, not a sounding — /now
has the surface observations, which are measurements and are deliberately kept separate
from this.

Complete supplied-profile diagnostics
Uses every genuine supplied level through the profile top, regardless of the
selected chart view.
Supplied levels
the model surface, 850 hPa, 700 hPa, 600 hPa, 500 hPa — 5 levels spanning 1238–5687 m (4449 m).
Lowest-layer lapse rate
-4.7 °C/km between the model surface (1238 m) and 850 hPa (1557 m) — temperature rises with height. Measured across 319 m, so it is
a layer average and cannot resolve structure inside that depth.
Modelled inversions
1238–1557 m (the model surface to 850 hPa): 2.5 °C rising to 4.0 °C, 4.7 °C/km of
warming over 319 m.
A feature of this coarse model profile, not an observed inversion. It
may equally be an artefact of interpolating a wide grid over steep
terrain.
Moist-layer depth
No two adjacent supplied levels are both at or above 80% RH, so no depth can be measured. A single humid
level is not a depth.
Dendritic growth range (-12 to -18 °C)
Covered by the supplied levels The supplied levels bracket both bounds: -12 °C at 4588 m and -18 °C at 5479 m, interpolated between adjacent supplied levels. Overlap is a property of this profile’s temperature structure — it is not a statement that snow is growing there.

Lowest-layer lapse rate
0.7 °C/km between the model surface (1238 m) and 850 hPa (1534 m) — stable — shallow fall with height. Measured across 296 m, so it is
a layer average and cannot resolve structure inside that depth.
Modelled inversions
None between adjacent supplied levels. That is not the same as no
inversion: one shallower than the gap between two levels would not appear
here at all.
Moist-layer depth
1841 m contiguous at or above 80%

Lowest-layer lapse rate
5.1 °C/km between the model surface (1238 m) and 850 hPa (1530 m) — moderate — near the saturated rate. Measured across 292 m, so it is

2.7 °C/km between the model surface (1238 m) and 850 hPa (1501 m) — stable — shallow fall with height. Measured across 263 m, so it is
a layer average and cannot resolve structure inside that depth.
Modelled inversions
None between adjacent supplied levels. That is not the same as no
inversion: one shallower than the gap between two levels would not appear
here at all.

cloud, and not proof of snowfall.
Dendritic growth range (-12 to -18 °C)
Covered by the supplied levels The supplied levels bracket both bounds: -12 °C at 3508 m and -18 °C at 4441 m, interpolated between adjacent supplied levels. Overlap is a property of this profile’s temperature structure — it is not a statement that snow is growing there.

What this page does not claim
This is a model profile, not a sounding. There is no radiosonde in it. The nearest
upper-air site to the Australian Alps is hundreds of kilometres away, and no observed
sounding is drawn on this chart — nor is the surface observation from /now,
which is one instrument at one height and would be a fabrication if plotted as a column.
Coverage is sparse and model-dependent. Below-terrain levels are already excluded,
which at an alpine grid point routinely removes 1000 and 925 hPa. An ECMWF profile
includes 850, 700, 600 and 500 hPa above the surface when all requested
triplets are present.
Nothing is extrapolated above the requested 500 hPa level.
Where the dendritic range sits above the supplied profile top, the page says the
supplied levels do not cover it — never that there is no dendritic zone.
No amount, no score. Deeper moisture and a bracketed dendritic range are structural
facts about the profile. Turning them into centimetres or a “powder rating” would be
inventing a number the data cannot support.
ACCESS-G has no point profile here. Its Open-Meteo domain has not initialised
since June 2025 and returns an all-null series; an empty profile with a model’s name on
it is worse than no chart. The Bureau’s current ACCESS-G chart products are available in
the app’s live ACCESS-G map viewer.
