Soundings
A sounding helps you examine the atmosphere before storms start. Use it to examine forecast problems. For example:
- Can the cap stop storms?
- How much buoyancy is available?
- Is there sufficient wind shear for organized convection?
- At which heights are the important cloud and parcel levels?
Soundings keeps the sounding, the hodograph, the parcel curves, and the derived parameters together on one screen. Thus, you can start with the shape of the sounding and then make a forecast from it. The app compares each parameter with operational thresholds. These thresholds help you read the numbers.
