I'm not aware of one.� You'd have to compute the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates yourself.� However, since you are running the WRF, you could use ARWpost and manipulate the module that computes CAPE to give you lifted index.� Most of the hard work in computing it is already done.� You would just need to add code to spitting out the array into a binary file.<br>

Dear users,<br>
<br>
Does anybody have a script to calculate the Lifted Index?<br>
I am running WRF model and this index is not available in version 3.<br>
The problem is the parcel temperature.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Gisele<br>
