Weather | Convective Available Potential Energy. A measure of the amount of energy available for convection. CAPE is directly related to the maximum potential vertical speed within an updraft; thus, higher values indicate greater potential for severe weather. Observed values in thunderstorm environments often may exceed 1,000 joules per kilogram (j/kg), and in extreme cases may exceed 5,000 j/kg. However, as with other indices or indicators, there are no threshold values above which severe weather becomes imminent. CAPE is represented on a sounding by the area enclosed between the environmental temperature profile and the path of a rising air parcel, over the layer within which the latter is warmer than the former. (This area often is called positive area.) See also CIN and Fig. 6, sounding. (references) |

Geography
A cape is a coastal landform extending beyond the adjacent coast into the sea or a lake. A cape is usually more than just a headland and peninsula, having considerable effects on the directions of ocean currents around them.The most important capes :
- Cape Agulhas - South Africa
- Cape Arkona - Germany
- Cape Canaveral - Florida
- Cape Cod - Massachusetts
- Cape Dezhnev - Russia
- Cape of Good Hope - South Africa
- Cape Horn - Chile
- Cape Leeuwin - Australia
- Cape St. Vincent
- Cape Verde - a republic
- Cape York - Australia
- North Cape - Norway
- South East Cape - Australia
- Cape Wrath - Scotland
Clothing
A cape is also an article of clothing, and can be used to describe any sleeveless outer garment, such as a poncho. They were common in medieval Europe, and have periodic returns to fashion, for example in nineteenth century Europe. They remain in regular use as rainwear in various military units and police forces, for example in France and the United Kingdom. Perhaps for this reason, capes became associated with fascism in Italy during the 1920s. A gas cape was a voluminous military garment designed to give rain protection to someone wearing the bulky gas masks used in twentieth century wars.Superheroes, vampires, and the like are often depicted wearing capes, and they are therefore sometimes adopted by those with superheroic or vampiric pretensions.

Cape Canaveral is a strip of land near the center of the Atlantic coast of Florida. It is in a region known as the Space Coast, and is the site of the Kennedy Space Center, and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Most United States spacecraft are launched from either one of these sites.
President John F. Kennedy was an enthusiastic backer of the space program, and after his assassination in 1963, Cape Canaveral was renamed Cape Kennedy. Although the name change was approved by the U.S. Board of Geographical Names of the Interior Department in 1964, it was not popular in Florida and in 1973 the state passed a law restoring the former 400-year-old name and the Board went along. The people of the city of Cape Canaveral, Florida had particularly pressed to change it back.
The cape is part of a long string of barrier beaches along the Atlantic coast of the United States.
In addition to the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral is the site of an air force base, a nineteenth-century lighthouse, and the city of Cape Canaveral.
The first rocket launch from the Cape was Bumper 8 from Launch Pad 3 on 24 July 1950.
On February 6, 1959 the first successful test firing of a Titan intercontinental ballistic missile was accomplished here.
All manned US spaceflights have launched from Cape Canaveral.

The Cape of Good Hope is a headland in South Africa, near Cape Town, marking the turning point between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.(This point is under dispute - some authorities place the division between the two oceans further east at Cape Agulhas, which is demonstrably further south.)
The Cape of Good Hope was first rounded by Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, who named it "Cape of Storms" (Cabo Tormentoso). It was later renamed by John II of Portugal as "Cape of Good Hope" (Cabo de Bõa Esperança) because of the opening of a route to the east.
Dutch merchant Jan van Riebeeck established a resupply camp for the Dutch East India Company at the Cape on April 6, 1652, which eventually developed into Cape Town.
On December 31, 1687 a band of Huguenots set sail from France to the Cape in order to flee religious persecution.
The United Kingdom on January 19, 1806, occupied the Cape. It was ceded to the UK in the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814 and was henceforth administered as the Cape Colony. See also History of Cape Colony.

Cape Town is one of South Africa's three capital cities (the others are Pretoria and Bloemfontein) and is most famous for its mountain, aptly named Table Mountain because of its flat top. The agglomeration is estimated to have a population of about 2.7 million (estimate from 1996 census).It was founded by the Dutch East India Company to be used as a replenishing station for ships sailing on the trade route to Indonesia. The location was chosen for its sheltered bay which formed a natural harbour. The seas around Cape Town are notorious and it was referred to as the "Cape of Storms". However the Dutch displaced the Khoi and San who were the native inhabitants. The Dutch imported slaves from Asia, which became the Cape Coloureds. Later the English conquered the Dutch to gain control of this strategic port.
Today, Cape Town is a popular tourist destination, offering the visitor a wide variety of activities such as water sports (including diving, surfing and sailing), angling, wine-tasting, shopping, scenic drives, mountaineering, hiking, kite-flying, hang-gliding and parasailing, and bird- and whale-watching.
The most popular time for visitors is the summer from October to March, though some visitors from more temperate climates might find the height of summer (December and January) uncomfortably hot. The city also becomes very crowded then as the local holidaymakers descend on the city for their summer school holidays. The Victoria & Alfred waterfront development is a popular shopping venue with thousands of shops, a fine hotel, a world-class marina and an aquarium. Boat trips can be undertaken from the V & A marina to visit Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.
Local wineries offer tastings and informative tours are available. August and September are the best time to visit the west coast, because the desert comes to life after the winter rains and the wild flowers bloom in profusion.
A cable car system takes visitors to the top of Table Mountain, though it only operates in good weather as gale-force winds can make it dangerous or clouds can obscure the view from the summit.
The area is also famous for its unique plant life: Fynbos (an Afrikaans word meaning "fine bush"), a semi-desert plant family to which Proteas belong and which occurs nowhere else but the Cape coastal belt. These plants are so adapted to their arid environment that they are used in dried floral arrangements.
The airport in Cape Town is Cape Town International Airport.
Sports Teams
Cape Town boasts three soccer teams in the Premier League, Santos (based in Athlone), Ajax Cape Town (based in Newlands) and Hellenic Football Club.
The Cape Town suburb of Newlands, besides being the home of Ajax Cape Town, is also the home of the Western Province rugby team, one of the powerhouses in South African rugby, as well as Western Province cricket.
