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.
PARCEL DATA
- LPL (lifted parcel level of the latest lifted parcel) - parcel pressure (mb), temperature/dewpoint in C and F
- CAPE of the latest lifted parcel (J/kg)
- LI - lifted index (temperature difference of parcel at 500mb and 500mb temperature using the latest lifted parcel (C))
- BFZL - unknown, but likely CAPE below freezing level (J/kg)
- LImin - minimum LI (C) and associated pressure (mb) for the latest lifted parcel
- CINH - convective inhibition (J/kg) for the latest lifted parcel to reach the LFC
- Cap - temperature of the cap (C) and associated pressure (mb) for latest lifted parcel
- LCL - lifted condensation level for the latest lifted parcel, pressure (mb), ht AGL (ft)
- LFC - level of free convection for the latest lifted parcel, pressure (mb), ht AGL (ft), temperature (C)
- EL - equilibrium level for the latest lifted parcel, pressure (mb), ht AGL (ft), temperature (C)
- MPL -Maximum Parcel Level (i.e. theoretical height of overshooting top) for the latest lifted parcel considering momentum from positive CAPE and negative forcing above the EL, pressure (mb), ht AGL (ft)
