Abstract

Three instability indices based on differences between equivalent potential temperature values at 1000hPa - 850hPa, 1000hPa - 700hPa and 1000hPa - 500hPa pressure levels have been analyzed. Daily radiosonde measurements from 1986 to 1990 have been considered to determine a relationship amongst convective cloud types, cloud cover, precipitable water and precipitation over Isparta in Central Anatolia. The reliability of the model is tested by considering data between 1991 and 1995.
