Understanding Atmospheric Stability
Спорт
Understanding atmospheric stability is essential for any serious glider pilot.
This video explains what is meant by stability and the three types: unstable, conditionally unstable, and unstable, and how they apply to the atmosphere to cause mountain waves, steady climb thermals, or towering cumulus clouds leading to thunderstorms.

Thanks for YOUR new convergence video!
Excellent video Bill! I appreciate the clear explanation along with the visuals👍🏻
Fantastic video! This is the best explanation of this I've found yet, and I spend a lot of time looking. Thank you!
This video helped me more than you can imagine. Thank you very much!
Such a Cristal clear explanation
This was amazing, very clear and thorough. Thank you!!
Dear Bill. Many thanks from Cambridge England.
Excellent explanation with the visuals. My area of expertise is Aeronautical Meteorology so am learning a lot from your presentation From Ghana, West Africa. Thanks
Great animations and photos! I did have to crank my volume up to hear you well though.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at fixing the audio and reloading
@BillPalmer, many thanks, awesome video. Would you be able to do one on Fronts and the formation of ice and fog? While the concept of fronts are well described, questions relating to the formation of ice, e.g. flying from colder to warmer etc. are not and they seem extremely important to know. Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I am concentrating on subjects that relate mostly to soaring (glider flying) and ice and fog are not real concerns for that community.
Awesome but turn the audio up you were so quiet.

Nothing I can do for one that’s already up, but I’ll be watchful of that for the next one. This was new editing software on a new computer for me, so somewhat of a learning curve. Thanks for the comment though.
Great video. But the sound volume seems really soft on this one.

Sorry about that
Always cancel everything and head to the gliderport!
