Stuve Diagram
- isotherms and isobars are at right angles, making diagram appear, at first glance, less confusing
- more conceptually related to graph paper, hence, its popularity
- is not used operationally
Skew T/log P Diagram
- exaggerates stable layers, making them easily visible
- makes visualization and computation of instability easy
- equal area/equal energy diagram
- vertical scale is exponential, making it easier to conceptualize decreasing density with height
- is the diagram used operationally
