The site refers to uncorrected barometric pressure. BMP has an actual elevation of 59 feet.But you still did not say which barometric pressure you used in the calc.

I'm assuming you used corrected barometer. You need to use uncorrected barometer which will account for track elevation.The site you referred to is the one I used to get my weather data from.
I was using the DA number from the weather site for track elevation. It looks like that was my mistake. I re-ran the calculations using the actual track elevation and came back with much different numbers. Using the data below, the corrected ET went to [email protected].I guess I don’t understand the calculation. Why isn’t 59 ft used for the track elevation? Verses 223 ft and 2240 ft
