tephigram.savefig('tephigram_example.png')
parcel_info variable contains the test parcel's CAPE (Convectively Available
Potential Energy) and CIN (Convective Inhibition energy) as well as the LCL
(Lifting Condensation Level), LFC (Level of Free Convection) and EL
Other useful methods of Tephigram include plot_temp and plot_RH.
(Equilibrium Level).
See tests/ for more usage examples.
