The red line is a parcel ascent. Drag the purple slider to the right, and this will change. The concept is that as the surface temperature increases, the energy of a rising parcel of also increases (known as CAPE). By comparing the red curve with the existing temperature profile, you can diagnose the instability (likelihood of showers, thunderstorms etc) of the atmosphere. In theory, you can even use this to predict the exact onset times of convective clouds, or even afternoon thunderstorms. Just google "radiosonde parcel ascent", "convective available potential energy", or "lifted index" to get started.
