How Does Air Stability Change?
Stability
Cooling the lower atmosphere
After sunset, the Earths surface cools down
Cold air advection
Temperature inversions
Light rain, if any
Blue skies
Warming the upper atmosphere
Horizontal Air Movement
Air moves horizontally over areas with different temperature
Produce fog
Warm to cold air = Stable
Polar air + warm air = Unstable
Heavy snow fall
Vertical Air Movement
Subsidence
Stabilizes the atmosphere
Upper air column heated by compression
Cloudless sky
Unstable air rises
Instability
Cooling the upper atmosphere
Warming the lower atmosphere
Warm air advection
Air moving upward
Convergence
Frontal lifting
Orographic lifting
Clouds
Thunderstorms
Heavy Rain
