Summary The equivalent potential energy of the moist atmosphere is defined as the sum of its total potential energy and latent heat. The available equivalent potential energy is the amount of equivalent potential energy available for conversion into kinetic energy. For the isolated moist atmospheres, we may find the equivalent lowest state which is the limit of the states attained through all the actual processes involving water condensation and possesses the least equivalent potential energy. Thus, the maximum available equivalent potential energy with respect to the equivalent lowest state can be estimated for any provided initial state. This study may extend the understanding for the development of precipitation systems in the moist atmosphere.
