Usually, temperature and dew point data from radiosondes are plotted on these diagrams to allow calculations of convective stability or convective available potential energy ( CAPE ).
The principal reason that tephigrams are used by the British Met Office and the Meteorological Service of Canada is the property that areas contained by the curves have equal energies for equal areas, leading to better comparisons of CAPE and hence convective systems.
