Description:

Objective experiments have been carried out to determine which VAS-derived moisture and stability indices contain the greatest amount of predictive information with respect to thunderstorm and severe local storm events. In these experiments, stability and moisture parameters derived from 1700 GMT VAS retrievals were compared and correlated to storm observations during the subsequent 2000-0000 GMT period. The amount of predictive information in these indices was also compared to that possessed by indices derived from VAS retrievals taken earlier in the day, and from concurrently-available radiosondes and numerical model forecasts.
