Convective inhibition (CIN) of the most unstable parcel (MUCIN) which corresponds to MUCAPE is not changing as it already uses the virtual temperature correction (see Changes in CIN to concur with forecasting practice for details). For the time being as CIN and MUCIN parameters in the IFS are identical, one should still use CIN (parameterID=228001) to retrieve the data from MARS.
