A Skew-T diagram is a graphical representation used in meteorology to display atmospheric temperature, dew point, and wind profiles. To read it, locate the temperature and dew point lines, which are plotted on a skewed, logarithmic scale; the temperature lines slope to the right, while dew point lines slope to the left. Analyze the vertical profile to identify stability, moisture, and potential for convection by examining the relationship between temperature and dew point, as well as the lapse rate. Wind barbs at various altitudes indicate wind speed and direction, providing additional context for weather conditions.
