Severe Convective Storms -- An Overview

Severe Convective Storms -- An Overview From Metr 201, 401, 402 and 403 the buoyancy equation is obtained by substitution of the equation of state into the vertical equation of motion (below).

Severe Convective Storms -- An Overview CAPE is a measure of the buoyant acceleration experienced by an air parcel integrated from the LFC to the EL
