RAOB out of Changsha, Hunan, China from this morning: It shows a very potent env. Intense tors can't be ruled out with any mature sup.
观测显示,中国湖南长沙的探空数据呈现出我在美国以外见过的最强劲、最具爆发力的对流环境之一。对于任何发育成熟的超级单体,都不能排除产生强龙卷(EF2-EF3级及以上)的可能性。

Thank you for all of the suggestions, if you have any more about the design or what to add, I'd also like to see what you might have in mind
It definitely helped to assume the mixing ratio, as now the ECape trace is uniform and the overall look makes a lot of sense. Once again, thanks for the help with this and i appreciate it
I think I understand what you are mentioning now, so thank you for clarifying and my apologies for not understanding it before. I will do a test run of this and i will get back to you on what it looks like.
For example, heres a recent bufkit, where the values are PRES TMPC TMWC DWPC THTE DRCT SKNT OMEG
CFRL HGHT,
After 168mb, TMWC, DWPC, THTE all go to -9999 so I wouldn't have any moisture field to derive from that i am aware of besides the hypsometric one
The one issue im noticing is that once they start to -9999, the theta-e, dew point and mixing ratio columns all go to -9999, so the only data that is on the file after that is pres, hght, tmpc, wdir, wspd, omega, and cfrl (if the model has it), so i technically would not have any moisture field
I see, so is there any way i could potentially assume the data, maybe using something like hypsometric equation to derive the mixing ratio and converting that to dew point? Regardless, thank you for the insight into this, I appreciate it
Firstly, I want to say what you have already established is lovely, and I appreciate your work greatly. 2 things that would make it easier to use for my program would be having the TD up to 100mb instead of ~200mb to allow for ECape & overall accuracy, and rrfs bufkits if that is possible.
SharpJS v1.3 coming this week to aguacerowx.com!
- Sounding Presets for different events!
- Archive RAOB/BUFKIT soundings from IAState
- Angles for shear/SRW!
- Corfidi Upshear/downshear motion
- Nixon Deviant left/right motion
- New & Improved Parameters!
Two new plots, one showing the different median hodograph through different months, and a density comparision of significant tornadoes that are elevated vs not, and it shows that overall the elevated cases have less instability with the trade off of more SRH
Radar & Model Analysis of March 24-25th, 2023 from 23:52-06:14z from KDGX, KGWX & KHTX during the Rolling Fork EF4 Tornado and proceeding tornadoes
Radar & Model Analysis Storm Following Loop of April 12th, 2020 from 20:30-22:30z during the Bassfield EF4 tornado
I am E-xcited to announce that SharpJS now has a functional & tested, Entrainment Cape function! Each sounding now comes with an ECape trace, all thanks to the work of JM Peters journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
Thanks to @ameliaurquhart.bsky.social for the help with formulas and debugging
The last 20 years of observed mesonet @ KOKC (Oklahoma City). The first plot is temperature/feels like data, shows a repetitive almost sine wave pattern plus highlighting deep cold stretches. The wind speed/gust plot, displays a few notable wind events that impacted the okc metro
Happy to announce that SharpJS now has its own webpage! You can freely use it in your browser, as well as SPC MesoArchive, an easier way to view past mesoanalysis data!

Cool plot I made, thanks to the help of a few friends, that calculates the 0-1km streamwise vorticity and plots it
Demonstration of full sounding modification, including the ability to reset back to the default state, as well as live parameter updates. Inspired by @chasearchive.bsky.social's sounding plotter.
Sounding average of 1256 significant tornado cases. Very classic hodograph with strong SW% thru the first 3km, almost a perfect sickle shape lol
Sounding average from 679 sig wind cases. Very interesting to note of very few remarkable features, maybe the synoptic and mesoscale pattern is more important then a sounding of one coloumn.
Sounding average of 1448 significant hail cases. Interesting to see how the MU LFC is extremely close to the freezing layer, as well as the overall very good lapse rate profile.
Sounding loop from Tuscaloosa, AL on 4/27/2011 from 10z to 04/28/2011 00z. Displays the environmental recovery after the morning qlcs as well as the incredible environment in volatility and length.
Sounding from Vilonia, AR at 00z, shortly after the mayflower-vilonia ef4 had touched down on 4/27/2014. Sfc and storm motion modified to observed data
Average of 50 high-shear tornadic soundings, one image with each sounding and one without. All using RAP reanalysis one hour before each tornado happened.
Sounding from Decatur AR at 06z, less then an hour before the 2 mile wide ef3 struck on 5/26/2024. Sfc and motion adjusted to observed data.
and also ecape
Demonstration of a couple new features:
- draw fronts on the hodograph
- read out cursor on both hodograph/skew-t
- set custom lapse rate/shear layer by pressure/height
- set sfc temp/dew with different units
Sounding from 03/29/2007 at 00z at Hedley TX, during the very cyclic supercell
