Zusammenfassung:Several different forms of lifted index (LI) calculations are available from the Limited-Area Fine Mesh Model (LFM) and Nested-Grid Model (NGM) run operationally at the National Meteorological Center (NMC). The differences between the index calculations are presented, various applications of the LI are discussed, and a case demonstrating some of the strengths and weaknesses of each is presented.
