We have used warm-season data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's Southern Great Plains site to investigate the joint variability of the temperature and moisture soundings, and their relationship to the variability of the generalized convective available potential energy (GCAPE). The actual temperature and humidity soundings vary together in such a way as to produce variations of the GCAPE which are far smaller than those which would occur if the relative humidity varied while the temperature sounding was fixed, or vice versa. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
