What is meant by the term neutral atmospheric stability??
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: If the lapse rate is exactly equal to the dry adiabatic rate, rising or sinking unsaturated air will cool or warm at the same rate as the air around it. At each level, it would have the same temperature and density as the surrounding air. Because this air tends neither to continue rising nor sinking, the atmosphere is said to be neutrally stable. For saturated air, neutral stability exists when the environmental lapse rate is equal to the moist adiabatic rate.?
