Thunderstorm Ingredients?

Unread post by mattyj46 »

I'm just wondering if anyone knows a website or has a few paragraphs saved where it tells you all the ingredients for creating a thunderstorm (CAPE etc)?

This would be much appreicated.

Thanks

Learn up on skew-t diagrams. The skew-t will help give you a good understanding how instability works.
