Lesson 5: Vertical Motion and Stability
Learning Activities

Here are some exploration applets that should help you learn some important concepts.


Activity 1: Thermodynamic diagrams

The book also does a good job of introducing the concept of atmospheric stability. However, the book does not use diagrams typically used by meteorologist to analysis atmospheric stability. So, let's move on to some additional material on thermodynamic diagrams not in the book.
