On a sounding diagram, CAPE is the " positive area " above the LFC, the area between the parcel's virtual temperature line and the environmental virtual temperature line where the ascending parcel is warmer than the environment.

The z-bottom and z-top limits of integration in the equation represent the bottom and top altitudes ( in meters ) of a single CIN layer, T _ { v, parcel } is the virtual temperature of the specific parcel and T _ { v, env } is the virtual temperature of the environment.
