CEAT

Convective Environment Analysis Toolkit (CEAT) is a meteorological analysis project for examining thermodynamic, kinematic and composite severe-weather environments.

Diagnostics

SBCAPE, MLCAPE, MUCAPE, CIN, LCL/LFC/EL, ECAPE, DCAPE, effective SRH, effective shear, STP, SCP, SHIP and BRN, together with sounding and tabular products.

South Dakota

Hourly warm-season environmental analysis and climatological diagnostics across South Dakota, including the expanded 2001–2026 climatology.

Bulgaria

Extension of the CEAT framework to Bulgaria using ERA5 pressure-level data and an offline national boundary/grid workflow.

Validation

CEAT development includes severe-weather episode matching and diagnostic validation for hail, tornado and damaging-wind environments.

Scientific purpose

The project is designed to make long-period environmental analysis reproducible while retaining diagnostics useful to operational severe-weather meteorologists.
