 Cloudbase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Gerry Anderson's puppet science fiction series Captain Scarlet, Cloudbase is the skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum, resembling a large aircraft carrier, complete with flight deck, that hovers continuously at a height of several thousand feet and can be moved above any point on Earth as needed.
In reality Cloudbase was a large model filmed, by Derek Meddings' special effects unit, in front of a painted sky backdrop; the floating effect was achieved by concealing the supports behind the model.
In Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet Cloudbase is renamed Skybase.

 How To Avoid Cloud Suck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
I went up to cloudbase, back down to launch level, and was on my way back up to cloudbase again when I decided that I didn't want to deal with the possibility of getting sucked into the cloud in close proximity to other gliders so I left the thermal and set off toward another peak.
Cloudbase is over 11,000' MSL and the sky has 4/8 cumulus cover.
Keep in mind that pilots who habitually try to get all the way up to cloudbase are more likely to get sucked into a cloud than pilots who follow the FAR 103 limitations and strive to stay 500' below cloudbase, so in this case there's demonstrable safety in staying legal.

Within the mechanics of their own technology there are many ways in which they could "win" such a conflict: they chose not to exercise those options, and fight within certain rules, and on this logic it may be that they intentionally provided Spec- trum with those two titbits of information.

 CRAFT & EQUIPMENT: Cloudbase: Amber Room and Upper Deck
As soon as the pilot in ready at her helm, the casing slid down, permitting the Angel immediate take-off.
This seemingly dangerous landing manoeuvre is in fact safer (given a very high degree of piloting skill) than trying to put down a (supersonic 3,000 mph) fighter on a sort flight deck.
This reduces flying speed, but momentum still carries the aircraft forward in a tail-down position till it contacts the flap, whereupon clamps engage and the flap is lowered to the horizontal position.

A very good guide to Tdew can be found from various internet reports such as Metars and can form the basis for predictions.
Note the temperature, get a cloudbase from eg a glider already soaring during the morning, and you can easily infer the dewpoint at present and thus infer expected best cloudbase at maximum Tdry.
Thus if Tdry is in fact 0.5°C lower than reported (metars) and Tdew 0.5°C higher, then cloudbase using the quoted temperatures would be 400 feet in error.

Hillaire was really on this time, and I spent alot of time at cloudbase, high over the bench where launch is. On the second flight after lunch, I crossed the valley after reaching cloudbase again, and worked it up to the dewpoint on the east side of the valley before heading back to the LZ.
I headed out to land, but as I got near the LZ, Dick launched and I asked him if he would go back to cloudbase with me. We worked the ridge again, and soon were able to break away from the crowd and work the little bump again, back to the rock cliffs.
This time we launched from the other side of the ridge where the first tram station is. The thermal was right over the tram wires, and it was a ratty crankin' rocket you had to hold onto with both hands.
