Rapid Refresh model information currently in the GOES-R CI algorithm includes surface and most unstable convective available potential energy, convective inhibition, best lifted index, lifted condensation level, convective condensation level, level of free convection, bulk and low-level wind shear, and freezing-level height.
However, this study uses 3-hourly data at coarser grids (1.25[degrees] x 1.25[degrees] longitude by latitude, 42 vertical levels) when calculating Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) and Convective Inhibition (CIN).
Active research is being conducted to show the inadequacy of the current operational models to provide accurate high-resolution information of the atmospheric stability, such as convective available potential energy (CAPE), convective inhibition (CIN), and humidity, for the nowcasting application.
