Hi Daniel,
CINS is the term used in GEMPAK for Convective Inhibition, typically just
called CIN.
From http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/apxA_index
CINS - Convective Inhibition
CINS = GRAVTY * SUMN ( DELZ * ( TP - TE ) / TE )
SUMN = sum over sounding layers from top of the mixed
layer to LFCT for which ( TP - TE ) is less
than zero.
DELZ = incremental depth
TP = temperature of a parcel from the lowest
!500 m of the atmosphere, raised dry
adiabatically to the LCL and moist
adiabatically thereafter
TE = temperature of the environment
CINV - CINS computed by using virtual temperature
CINV = GRAVTY * SUMN ( DELZ * ( TVP - TVE ) / TVE )
SUMN = sum over sounding layers from top of the mixed
layer to LFCV for which ( TVP - TVE ) is less
than zero.
DELZ = incremental depth
TVP = virtual temperature of a parcel from the
lowest !500 m of the atmosphere, raised
dry adiabatically to the LCL and moist
adiabatically thereafter
TVE = virtual temperature of the environment
