Dear CF board:
I would like to propose the following standard name:
atmosphere_stability_k_index
with the associate definition:
The atmosphere_stability_k_index is an index that indicates the
potential of severe convection and is often referred to a simply the k
index. The index is derived from the difference in air temperature
between 850 and 500 hPa, the dew point temperature at 850 hPa, and the
difference between the air temperature and the dew point temperature at
700 hPa.
and the canonical units of:
C
NOTE: This proposed product using fixed pressure levels of 850, 700,
and 500 hPa for calculating the index which are unique to this product,
thus these values are included in the definition.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
