☁️ Rising Air Parcel Lab: Lifting Condensation Level, Lapse Rates, CAPE and Cumulus Growth — 2D Sounding and Phase Plane

2D companion of the rising air parcel lab: a side cross-section with the parcel, cloud and force arrows next to a temperature-height sounding with shaded CAPE and CIN, a buoyancy profile and a height-versus-updraft phase plane. Uses the same physics module as the 3D version.
