Came across this weather map that said CINS?
Does anyone know what that means?
It is is measured in kg so I am presuming it is similar to CAPE?
Still learning, quite a bit to learn actually....

Re: What does CINS Mean?
According to this site, http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/indices.html, it stands for "Convective Inhibition"
