6. 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).

7. 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
