***TRIVIA QUESTION, FILL IN THE BLANK****FIRST CORRECT ANSWER GETS THE STORM GLASS/GALILEO THERMOMETER COMBO. Acronym will not count, both blanks are the same word(s). What is a measure of the amount of energy available for convection? ________________ is directly related to the maximum potential vertical speed within an updraft; thus, higher values indicate greater potential for severe weather. Observed values in thunderstorm environments often may exceed 1000 joules per kilogram (J/kg), and in extreme cases may exceed 5000 J/kg. However, as with other indices or indicators, there are no threshold values above which severe weather becomes imminent. ____________ is represented on an upper air sounding by the area enclosed between the environmental temperature profile and the path of a rising air parcel, over the layer within which the latter is warmer than the former.
