Understanding Ambient Air Stability
Ambient air stability refers to the tendency of air parcels to either rise or sink in the atmosphere, which is influenced by the ambient lapse rate. The lapse rate describes how temperature changes with altitude.
What is the Ambient Lapse Rate?
- The ambient lapse rate is the rate at which air temperature decreases with an increase i
