Chapter 6- determining stability of the atmosphere- Stability is determined by comparing temperature of a rising parcel tot hat of its surroundings (environment)A. By comparing lapse rate curves, 3 atmospheric conditions exist:1. Absolutely stable- exists when environment lapse rate is less than moist adiabatic rate- Rising air parcel is always colder than air surrounding it2. Absolutely unstable- occurs when ELR is greater than DAR- Rising air is always warmer than surrounding it 3. Conditionally unstable- occurs when ELR is between the MAR and the DAR- Atmosphere is stable if rising air is unsaturated, but unstable if rising air is saturatedB. Conditions necessary to bring about stable atmosphere:1. Warm air moving over cold surface2. Nighttime radiational cooling3. Advection of cold surface airC. Conditions necessary to bring about unstable atmosphere:1. Cold air moving over warm surface2. Daytime solar heating of the surface3. Radiational cooling of clouds- Loss of heat energy to space of
