Description:"In this study, mean parcel CAPE and CAPE normalized for storm depth will be evaluated. Downward Convective Available Potential Energy (DCAPE), an estimate of the kinetic energy available to a downdraft parcel due to negative buoyancy, may be an important parameter in assessing the potential for damaging straight line winds and for determining low-level supercell structure. Its relationship to severe weather will be examined. The utility of a number of other forecast parameters including atmospheric lapse rates through various layers, atmospheric lapse rates through various layers, storm-relative wind flow and the lifted condensation level (LCL) will also be studied"--Introduction.
