• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

    Past Bulk Shear and CAPE data?

    Hi all! I'm doing an analysis on one of the storms I chased last summer. I've found archival databases for dew point, temp, radar, etc, but I can't seem to find a reliable source for past CAPE and Shear. Skew-T charts would be helpful as well, but I'm sick of the lack of data I'm finding...

    Calculating CAPE from CCL/LCL

    Hi all I have been trying to get to know how to read atmospheric soundings, but some things remain unclear. I hope someone can clarify. So if I understand well, as long as T2m < convective temperature, you will need to use the LCL and start the moist adiabatic curve from there to calculate...

  3. RUC Soundings

    The RUC soundings used to list CAPE and Cin for weather sites. But now, there are no values listed for CAPE or Cin when looking at the soundings for a site. Does anybody know why there are no values given for CAPE and Cin? Are they going to start listing the values again? If not, where can I...

    Top 10: Highest Observed CAPE

    So I was searching for highest observed CAPE values via rawinsondes. To my surprise, it has been rather difficult finding resources with this information. So I decided to make a list of the top 10 SB/ML CAPE values using SPC's sounding climatology page...
