atmosphere_convective_available_potential_energy
Convective(ly) available potential energy (often abbreviated CAPE) is a stability measure calculated by integrating the positive temperature difference between the surrounding atmosphere and a parcel of air lifted adiabatically from a given starting height to its equilibrium level. A coordinate variable of original_air_pressure_of_lifted_parcel should be specified to indicate the starting height of the lifted parcel. CAPE exists under conditions of potential instability, and measures the potential energy per unit mass that would be released by the unstable parcel if it were able to convect upwards to equilibrium.Aliases for this term
atmosphere_specific_convective_available_potential_energy
Convective(ly) available potential energy (often abbreviated CAPE) is a stability measure calculated by integrating the positive temperature difference between the surrounding atmosphere and a parcel of air lifted adiabatically from a given starting height to its equilibrium level. A coordinate variable of original_air_pressure_of_lifted_parcel should be specified to indicate the starting height of the lifted parcel. "Specific" means per unit mass. Potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the centripetal potential energy. (The geopotential is the specific potential energy.)atmosphere_specific_convective_available_potential_energy
Convective(ly) available potential energy (often abbreviated CAPE) is a stability measure typically calculated by integrating the positive differences in virtual temperature between a parcel of air lifted adiabatically and its surroundings. If the start and/or end points of the lifted parcel are not specified using auxiliary coordinate variables with the standard_names air_pressure_of_lifted_parcel_at_origin (_finish), the parcel starts at the surface (lower boundary of the atmosphere) and ends at the top of the atmosphere. "specific" means per unit mass. Potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the centripetal potential energy. (The geopotential is the specific potential energy.) Convective(ly) available potential energy is often abbreviated as "CAPE".atmosphere_specific_convective_available_potential_energy
