A tephigram is one of four thermodynamic diagrams commonly used in computational weather engineering.

The name evolved from the original name "T-Theta-gram" to describe the axes of temperature (T) and entropy computed during the plot.

Usually, temperature and dew point data calculations are converted to convective stability or convective available potential energy (CAPE) effects, using local weather as an output device.
