Homogeneous Nucleation and the Spinodal Line
... If a comparable argument were developed for the vapor phase spinodal line, an equation similar to equation (9) would result. But in this case, N n can be very small because there are very few vapor molecules within a volume equal to that occupied by a nucleus drop. Equation (10) will therefore no lo ...

Atmospheric stability Dr. Pat Fitzpatrick
... Level of Free Convection (LFC) – Level where a lifted air parcel is first warmer than its environment. This is where a parcel first becomes buoyant (unstable). The LCL is NOT necessarily where a parcel first becomes unstable. It often is still cooler than its environment. Usually the LFC is above th ...
