Assessing Atmospheric Stability…

Assessing Atmospheric Stability…. …Use of the Skew-T/log P diagram… (what does it all mean?). What is stability?. The atmosphere tends to resist vertical motion due to hydrostatic balance: dP / dZ = - ρ g This is why horizontal motions are generally &gt;&gt; than vertical motions.
