        Composite Moisture Index Chart are historical
charts archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). These four
panel charts are prepared by the National Weather Service, National
Meteorological Center, now known as The Hydrometeorological Center of the
National Environmental Prediction Center (NCEP), archived on 35-mm microfilm
by the NCDC. The upper-left panel contains the lifted index/k-index. High
values of k are unstable, low values of k are stable. The upper-right panel
is precipitable water. The lower-left panel is the freezing level, only the
three lowest levels are plotted. The lower-right panel is the average
relative humidity (surface to 500 mbs).
