\textbf{Thoughts and Actions}  \textit{Question - How do I identify if a sounding lies on the cold/warm side of a front?}  \begin{itemize}  \item check surrounding stations T and TD similar to sounding station T and TD (get sounding SFC T, TD and surrounding station T, TD).  \item find closest era int front to sounding station  \item find station either side of front, T and TD difference > X ?  \item what about approaching from from west closest to station, yet station on cool side of front in east?  \end{itemize}  To identify TS and ELTS, I may use the following from Brooks et al 1994: Proximity soundings for mesocyclone environments were chosen within 160km of the observing site, and +-1 hour from the synoptic time. Soundings with CAPE <150J/kg, CIN>CAPE, EL<300mb were eliminated to account for airmass changes, outflow contamination.
