The Cape Index, also known as Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE), is a measure of the instability of the atmosphere and measures the potential energy for convective processes such as thunderstorms.
A high cape index indicates an unstable atmosphere, which can favor severe thunderstorms or tornadoes.
The index is given in joules per kilogram (J/kg) and can reach values from 0 to over 3000.
A value of 0 to 500 J/kg indicates weak instability, while values of 2000 to 3000 J/kg indicate very strong instability.
