Brought up before here by Graf, but not a lot of people responded.
How exactly do we decide what instability to use for CAPE? As a calc group member myself, I do not understand how to choose the instability at all up to now. What exactly shows that the cloud has weak, moderate or strong instability? What value should we use? I think it is pretty confusing for users, as I see most calcs just randomly assume a "reasonable" value.
