TeachMeFinance.com - explain Thermodynamic Chart Thermodynamic Chart The term 'Thermodynamic Chart' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A chart containing contours of pressure, temperature, moisture, and potential temperature, all drawn relative to each other such that basic thermodynamic laws are satisfied. Such a chart typically is used to plot atmospheric soundings, and to estimate potential changes in temperature, moisture, etc. if air were displaced vertically from a given level. A thermodynamic chart thus is a useful tool in diagnosing atmospheric instability'.
