Air in which static instability prevails. This condition is determined by the vertical gradients of air temperature and humidity.
Air that rises easily and can form clouds and rain.
Air with temperature differences that encourage the formation of convection currents.
Air that rises easily and can form clouds and rain.
air in which static instability prevails; this condition is determined by the vertical gradients of air temperature and humidity .
An atmospheric state where strong vertical motions are produced by displacement of a parcel of air that accelerates upward when the parcel is moved upward, or downward when the parcel is moved downward. Usually found in regions of the atmosphere where a convective temperature profile is found.
Air that is warmer than its surroundings and as such tends to rise, leading to the formation of clouds and possibly precipitation.
