An initial evaluation of a latent instability index / Peter Jackson. : En57-44/82-011E-PDF
"On May 28, 1982, the Latent Instability Index (LATDEX) proposed in a paper by W.S. Harley was added to the Instability Indices already being computed for the Pacific Weather Centre fire weather program. This note presents the theory behind LATDEX and then gives an initial evaluation of LATDEX by comparing it with the K index (KIDEX). This note is mainly concerned with whether or not the Latent Instability Index, as implemented at PWC, actually functions as an instability index."
