Stability and Instability of the Atmosphere | Precipitation | Geography
Different forms of precipitation (dew, fog, rainfall, frost, snowfall, hailstorm etc.) depend on stability and instability of the atmosphere. The air without vertical movement is called stable air while unstable air undergoes vertical movement (both upward and downward). An airmass ascends and becomes unstable when it becomes warmer than the surrounding airmass while descending airmass becomes stable. The stability and [...]
