K-index can be found on a skew-t thermodynamic diagram. K-index represents the thunderstorm potential as a function of vertical temperature lapse rate of 850mb temperature and 500mb temperature, low level moisture content at 850mb dewpoint, and the depth of the moist layer at 700mb dewpoint. To find the K-index, use the following equation : KI=(T850mb-T500mb) + Td850mb-(T700mb-Td700mb). 2, record 13, English, - K%20index
