More complete discussion of the parameters and how they are calculated will come in future releases. For now, here is a listing of the parameter names for reference.
You do not need to review the details of this page unless you have a particular question about a parameter.
SEVERE POTENTIAL
- HAIL POTENTIAL
- CAPE (J/kg)
- WBZ level - Wet Bulb Zero
- Mid Lvl RH - some form of mid level relative humidity (%)
- FGZ level - freezing level
- EL Storm-Relative Wind Speed (kt)
- CH1 - unknown
- CH2 - unknown
- Avg BL Wetbulb Temp - average boundary layer wetbulb temperature (C)
- TORNADO POTENTIAL
- Storm-relative wind speed layers
- Low levels (sfc-LFC; kt)
- Mid levels (LFC to 4km above LFC; kt)
- High levels (4km below EL to EL; kt)...note this is labeled incorrectly as Low SRW (EL-4km - EL) when it should be high
