Abstract

There has always been a great need for a simple method which can provide a quick check on the possibility of a thunderstorm - one of the greatest hazards to aviation. As an aid to forecasting of thunderstorms many predictors have been indicated. The stability index formulated by Showalter (1953) is one among them; some of the other predictors are the mean of relative humidities at standard pressure levels between 850 and 500 mb, and the Gardner-Scherhag instability index.
