Principles of Vertical Motion and Atmospheric Stability

Summary

The presentation is about the principles of vertical motion and atmospheric stability. Atmospheric stability influences vertical air motion. Stable air hinders it, while unstable air promotes it. Vertical motion is significant for aviation, as it affects turbulence, cloud formation, and related phenomena. Fronts, mountains, warm surfaces, and airstream convergence and divergence can induce upward and downward motions in the atmosphere.
