Stability indices
Posted: 14 Aug 2012 12:39
Good afternoon,
I have been using the new version 6.0 and I must say that the new thermodynamic diagrams are fantastic and very useful. I am very happy with them, particularly because including this was my suggestion long time ago. So, thank you very much!
It is nice to read that the inclusion of wind forecast at different hights is planned for future work: wind shear with height is a very important variable to take into account in weather forecasting. My suggestion is to include also the computation of different stability indices (not only CAPE and CIN). These should not be too difficult once we have the thermodynamic diagram. The definition of different stability indices can be found here, for example:
http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/indices.html
So including the values of these indices together with the thermodynamic diagram and, of course, the wind forecast at different levels would make this a very valuable tool.
Thanks a lot for your continuos work with this fantastic program. I shall send you an updated Spanish translation in September.
Kind regards,
Tropelio.
