5 Atmospheric Stability
... Applied to the atmosphere, the term ‘stability’ simply means ‘resistant to change’. As mentioned in the introduction, the mention of stability here refers to vertical stability, as any form of sustained vertical motion will generate an unstable atmosphere. This upwards motion causes turbulence in th ...

Atmospheric convection
Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to instability. Mixing of air during the day which expands the height of the planetary boundary layer leads to increased winds, cumulus cloud development, and decreased surface dew points. Moist convection leads to thunderstorm development, which is often responsible for severe weather throughout the world. Special threats from thunderstorms include hail, downbursts, and tornadoes.
