Can I read Atmospheric Stability and Vertical Motion on EtoBox?

Atmospheric Stability and Vertical Motion by NLS is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Atmospheric Stability and Vertical Motion about?

1) Atmospheric stability is important because vertical motion drives key processes like the hydrologic cycle and dispersing pollutants. 2) There are two types of vertical motion - forced motion like air rising over hills, and buoyant motion where air rises because it is less dense than surroundings. 3) Stability depends on the environmental lapse rate and whether a rising air parcel is warmer or colder than surrounding air based on dry or moist adiabatic lapse rates.
