Question 1 of 2

To complete this exercise, you will need to open the interactive skew-T diagram with a preloaded sounding. Then answer the following questions based on the sounding. (For each question, write your answer in the text box, then click Done.)

a) What is the Convective Condensation Level (CCL)?
CCL = hPa  

The correct answer is 685 hPa.

b) What is the lifted index (LI)?
LI =   

The correct answer is 0.3.

c) What is the CAPE?
CAPE = J/kg  

The correct answer is 42.

d) What is the convective potential?
a. Low
b. Moderate
c. High

Correct. If there are no changes in the sounding, it would appear that there is little potential for convection, given the above indices.
Incorrect. If there are no changes in the sounding, it would appear that there is little potential for convection, given the above indices.
