Skew T

[Clarence Bennett]

Would anyone have a snap shot of a skew t chart during a tornadic day from this year. I am trying to get a better handle on skew t's and would like to see one to study it.

Thanks,
Clarence

This isn't from this year, but it's an example of high instability above a cap ("Loaded Gun Sounding").

If you are just wanting to learn more about skew-t charts, then I'd suggest this site.

The University of Wyoming maintains an extensive database of upper-air sounding data that date back as far as 1973; it is an excellent resource for skew-T diagrams on historic severe weather outbreak days.

Make sure you click the drop-down box titled "Type of Plot" and change it to "GIF: Skew-T" before changing a time/date and selecting a location on the map.
