<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi <br><br></div>I used function "wrf_cape_3d" to calculate CAPE and CIN. The return values are as follows (from NCL website, <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/wrf_cape_3d.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/wrf_cape_3d.shtml</a> ):<br><ul><li><em>p</em>, <em>t</em>, <em>q</em>, <em>z</em> (time,lev,lat,lon)
and <em>psfc</em>, <em>zsfc</em> (time,lat,lon)
</li><li><em>p</em>, <em>t</em>, <em>q</em>, <em>z</em> (lev,lat,lon) and
<em>psfc</em>, <em>zsfc</em> (lat,lon)
</li><li><em>p</em>, <em>t</em>, <em>q</em>, <em>z</em> (lev) and
<em>psfc</em>, <em>zsfc</em> (scalars)</li></ul><p>My data are similar to the third situation, with only 1-dimensional vertical data. However, I realized the calculated CAPE and CIN are all from the surface level, and their values are very large. I am not sure they are reasonable or not. Could you do me a favor to double check it? Thank you very much.</p><p>Please the attached plots.<br></p><p>Best,</p><p>Zhifeng</p><p><br></p></div>
