Hello,
I'm looking for cape information in order to predict storm conditions. Then i calculate cape from wrfout file with ncl function wrf_user_getvar(a,"cape_2d",-1). It works but the value seems not accurate, with storm conditions i should have between 700 and 5000 J/KG, however i get no more than 400 J/KG. Does someone has any idea about this strange value, is unit correct, is it possible to calculate easily cape from other variables to verify the value given with ncl function?
Thanks in advance for your answers
