  2. Static stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_stability

    Static stability may also refer to: In aircraft or missiles: Static margin — a concept used to characterize the static stability and controllability of aircraft and missiles. Longitudinal stability — the stability of an aircraft in the longitudinal, or pitching, plane during static (established) conditions. In meteorology:

  3. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    [clarification needed] [1] Atmospheric instability encourages vertical motion, which is directly correlated to different types of weather systems and their severity. For example, under unstable conditions, a lifted parcel of air will find cooler and denser surrounding air, making the parcel prone to further ascent, in a positive feedback loop.

  4. Eady model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eady_model

    The model also assumes a constant static stability parameter and that fluctuations in the density of the air are small (obeys the Boussinesq approximation). Structurally, the model is bounded by two flat layers or “rigid lids”: one layer representing the Earth's surface and the other the tropopause at fixed height H. To simplify numerical ...

  5. Potential temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_temperature

    Potential temperature and hydrostatic stability. Potential temperature is a useful measure of the static stability of the unsaturated atmosphere. Under normal, stably stratified conditions, the potential temperature increases with height, [3] > and vertical motions are suppressed.

  6. Equivalent potential temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_potential...

    In the mesoscale, equivalent potential temperature is also a useful measure of the static stability of the unsaturated atmosphere. Under normal, stably stratified conditions, the potential temperature increases with height, > and vertical motions are suppressed.

  7. Convective instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_instability

    The combination of moisture and temperature determine the stability of the air and the resulting weather. Cool, dry air is very stable and resists vertical movement, which leads to good and generally clear weather. The greatest instability occurs when the air is moist and warm, as it is in the tropical regions in the summer.

  9. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    For an unstable aircraft, a disturbance in pitch will lead to an increasing pitching moment. Longitudinal static stability is the ability of an aircraft to recover from an initial disturbance. Longitudinal dynamic stability refers to the damping of these stabilizing moments, which prevents persistent or increasing oscillations in pitch.
