THE DEEP CONVECTION THROUGH THE CAPE IN COMPARISONWITH RADAR DOPLER BAND-L IN THE REGION OF SERPONG-INDONESIA.José Francisco de OLIVEIRA JÚNIOR 1 , Paulo Yoshio KUBOTA 2 , José Augusto PaixãoVEIGA 3 ,1 Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - Laboratório de Meteorologia e Oceanografia(LMO) Centro de Previsão do Tempo e Clima (INPE/LMO/CPTEC),São José dos Campos, SP – BrasilAv. dos Astronautas, 1758 – Jardim da Granja – CEP: 12227-010Nº inscrição JDE-0395tel. : 0XX12 3945-6660e-mail : jfoliver@cptec.inpe.brABSTRACTDeep convective activity in the region of Serpong-Indonesia (6° 24’S – 106° 42’E)identified with the help of the radar reflectivity and CAPE (Convection Avaliable PotentialEnergy) shows strong diurnal variation with different chacarteristics in the dry and wetseasons. Maximum convective activity in the dry season occurs around the early afternoon.Whereas in the wet season it is in the morning and early evening hours. During the dryseason the CAPE is stable to moderately unstable agreeing with the Stutevant (1994) scaleexcept at 1500 LT (Local Time). Sometimes CAPE obtained values of over 3000 J/Kg atthis time. During the wet season CAPE was unstable to very unstable, values reaching 3500J/kg, especially around 1800-2100 LT. High values of CAPE is only a necessary conditionfor convection. In future the characteristics of convection over Indonesia and Amazoniawill be compared.
