For instance, a CAPE value significantly above 1000 J/kg suggests a highly unstable atmosphere, making it conducive for storms to develop. Conversely, lower CAPE values might result in weaker storms ...

While C.A.P.E. provides the energy, wind shear is essential for storm organization and rotation. Wind shear refers to the change in wind speed and direction at different altitudes. There are two main ...

Just yesterday we talked about C.A.P.E. ( Convective, Available, Potential, Energy) and how it's one of many ingredients needed to make storms happen. Cape is basically the energy for the storms, or ...
