How It Works

Calculate wind shear between atmospheric layers from radiosonde data. Assess tornado risk (0-3 km SRH) and severe weather potential from wind shear and cape values

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Radiosonde data — The radiosonde data recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the wind shear result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the radiosonde data for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate wind shear between atmospheric layers from radiosonde data. Assess tornado risk (0-3 km SRH) and severe weather potential from wind shear and cape values. Use the wind shear result to inform your clinical assessment.
