Problems (20 Points per problem): 1) A (4 pts) Explain the meaning of each term in one sentence. Lifting Condensation Level, LCL: Level of Free Convection, LFC: Equilibrium Level, EL: . Conv. Available Potential Energy, CAPE: . Convective Inhibition, CIN: Maximum Parcel Level. MPL.: B. (8 pts) Draw the lifted parcel line and label the above features on the following Skew-T diagram from South Texas C. (5 pts) Estimate values for the following (OK to label values on the plor only) Surface Temperature (°C): Surface Dewpoint (°C); Wind shear (diff between surface and 6 km, kts) Level of the LCL (mb): Height of maximum buoyancy (mb): Environmental Freezing level (mb): Equilibrium Level (mb): Height, speed, and direction of fastest winds (mb, kts, direction) NJ time (Eastern Daylight Time) when the balloon was launched D. (3 pts) Categorize the instability, CIN, Helicity, and Shear values on this sounding as low, moderate, large, or extreme. Describe what weather you think might have been likely around the time of this sounding in Texas.
