When the air is stable?
April 5, 2024
Ref: https://skybrary.aero/articles/lapse-rate 到底咩情況下parcel of air 叫stable? To answer this question, we need understand few concept: 咩係Lapse rate 咩係環境上面既Lapse rate 咩係pacel of air 既Lapse rate Lapse Rate is the rate at which temperature changes with height in the Atmosphere. In my language, how many degree Celsius drop when vertical distance increase for a fixed number.

Reference source: https://skybrary.aero/articles/weather-observations-aerodromes CAVOK The visibility, RVR, weather and cloud groups are replaced by CAVOK (Cloud And Visibility OK) when the following conditions exist simultaneously: If there is no cloud below 5000 ft or below the highest minimum sector altitude (whichever is greater) and there is no towering cumulus or cumulonimbus, ‘NSC’ is reported.
