In Tphigram it is represented by the positive area embedded between the saturated adiabat and the dry bulb temperature. You can have a </span><span style="font-size:15px;line-height:30px">visualization </span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:200%">of CAPE by drawing Tphigram using one of the radiosonde profile at a tropical station. . The more the CAPE, the atmospheric convection and instability is found to be more..Generally during thunderstorm activity over tropical region CAPE value can reach upto 7000 or 8000 J/Kg. This is the physical explanation of CAPE. If you want more details then kindly </span><span style="font-size:15px;line-height:30px">refer</span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:200%"> some atmospheric thermodynamic books such as S.L. Hess, Introduction to theoretical meteorology...Best of Luck.....</span></font></p>
