  <div class="eI2">

The equivalent potential temperature map - updated every 6 hours - shows the modelled equivalent 
potential temperature at the 850hPa level. The equivalent potential temperature is commonly referred 
to as Theta-e (&#952;e). &#952;e is the temperature of a parcel of air after it was lifted until 
it became saturated with water vapour (adibatically). When this parcel becomes saturated and 
condensation begins, the process of condensation releases latent heat into the surrounding air. 
This latent heat further warms the air making the air even more buoyant. We refer to this as a moist 
adiabatic or saturated adiabatic process. Moist adiabatic expansion increases the instability of the parcel. 
If this process of moist adiabatic expansion continues, all of the water may condense out of the rising 
parcel and precipitate out, yielding a dry parcel, and is dropped adiabatically to an atmospheric pressure of 
1000 hPa. The potential temperature of that new dry parcel is called the equivalent potential temperature 
(&#952;e) of the original moist parcel
<BR>
In meteorology &#952;e is used to indicate areas with unstable and thus positively buoyant air. The &#952;e of 
an air parcel increases with increasing temperature and increasing dewpoint as for the latter more latent 
heat that can be released. Therefore, in a region with adequate instability, areas of relatively high &#952;e 
(called &#952;e ridges) are often the burst points for thermodynamically induced thunderstorms and MCS's. 
&#952;e ridges can often be found in those areas experiencing the greatest warm air advection and moisture advection.

Keep in mind that if a strong cap is in place, convective storms will not occur even if &#952;e is high.
<BR>
As different origins of airmasses largely determine their own &#952;e,
one can use this parameter as a marker. Fronts are easily seen as steep gradients in
&#952;e. The boundary layer &#952;e shows where fronts are located near the surface,
while 700 hPa &#952;e shows where they are near the 3000 m level. In winter it occurs
often that warm fronts do not penetrate into the heavy, cold airmass near the surface.

  <div class="eI2">A previs&atilde;o num&eacute;rica do tempo usa o estado instant&acirc;neo da atmosfera como dados de entrada para modelos matem&aacute;ticos da atmosfera, com vista &agrave; previs&atilde;o do estado do tempo.<br>
Apesar dos primeiros esforços para conseguir prever o tempo tivessem sido dados na d&eacute;cada de 1920, foi apenas com o advento da era dos computadores que foi possível realiz&aacute;-lo em tempo real. A manipulaç&atilde;o de grandes conjuntos de dados e a realizaç&atilde;o de c&aacute;lculos complexos para o conseguir com uma resoluç&atilde;o suficientemente elevada para produzir resultados úteis requer o uso dos supercomputadores mais potentes do mundo. Um conjunto de modelos de previs&atilde;o, quer &agrave; escala global quer &agrave; escala regional, s&atilde;o executados para criar previsões do tempo nacionais. O uso de previsões com modelos semelhantes ("model ensembles") ajuda a definir a incerteza da previs&atilde;o e estender a previs&atilde;o do tempo bastante mais no futuro, o que n&atilde;o seria possível conseguir de outro modo.<br>
