[gradsusr] calculating the CAPE

[Jayakrishnan PR]

Dear Ismaila,
              It is not a simple process to calculate CAPE using grads. The
input files that needed for CAPE calculation is dry bulb temperature (at
different levels), Dew point temperature (or relative humidity). You can do
the computation of CAPE using a program given in the following reference
journal.

Babu C.A., (1996), Evaluation of thermodynamic parameters of the atmosphere
by a Fortran program, *J. Comp.& Geo.*, *22*, 877-881.


You can get the soft copy of the article or source code of the program from
the author in the mail id
babumet at gmail.com

What you have to do is to compute and make a grid over your region and then
you can display the CAPE using grads utilizing a ctl file.
Best of Luck.
