page 8 Potential temperature θ is the temperature that an unsaturated par- cel of dry air would have if brought adiabatically and reversibly from its initial state to a standard pressure p0, typically 1000 hPa: θ = T(p0 P )R/Cp Equivalent potential temperature θe is found by lowering an air parcel to the 1000 mb level AND releasing the latent heat in the parcel. θe = Te(p0 P )R/Cp ≈ (T + Lq Cp )(p0 P )R/Cp = θ exp(Lq Cp ) where Te is the equivalent temperature.
