Generation

Atmospheric stability refers to the atmosphere's tendency to resist or enhance vertical motion of air parcels. A stable atmosphere suppresses vertical movement because rising air becomes cooler and denser than its surroundings, causing it to sink back down, while an unstable atmosphere promotes vertical motion because rising air remains warmer and less dense than its environment, allowing it to continue rising. **Key formula**: The **lapse rate** comparison determines stability: - If **Γ < Γ_d** (environmental lapse rate < dry adiabatic lapse rate ≈ 9.8°C/km), the atmosphere is **stable** - If **Γ > Γ_d**, the atmosphere is **unstable**
