 ====== Reading a Sounding ======
-Below is an example of a sounding. The Magenta layer at the bottom represents the Surface layer. This varies based on location, and can be higher or lower than what is presented. The peach color is the lower and mid-levels. These are the levels in which during winter matter the most, since they often dictate what precipitation falls. This includes the 925mb layer through the 850mb layer. Above that is the upper levels, and above the upper levels is the extreme upper levels layer.

 ===== Lower Chart =====
 Often, soundings are accompanied by more information than just the vertical information. In the case of the above chart, there is a section for atmospheric energy (CAPE) and energy inhibitors (CINH), a section for shear and wind direction and speed at different levels, SARS analogs, guessed precipitation, and effective layer STP.
