In Response To: Re: CAPE Calculation (John Brown)

John, Thanks for the explanation. So, if I'm reading this right, I'll see this kind of CAPE calculation when the atmosphere is saturated or nearly saturated over a fairly large layer of the lower atmosphere? In other words, had there been a dry layer between 2,000 and 9,000 feet, with everything else the same, the calculation of CAPE would have been significantly less?
