Skew-T diagram

[jeanernest]

A high Cape index on a given area not always correspond with the Skew-T diagram on the same location. Shortly, the diagram doesn't show any CAPE's envelop. Have I misunderstood something ?

@jeanernest
The sounding forecast provided by Windy is not a skew-T diagram.
The temp. axis is perpendicular to pressure levels.

On skew-T, the temperature lines are skewed at 45°.

if you want to "draw" the CAPE envelop ...

we have good news!

that gives outputs like:

then you can analyze skew-T by yourself
