Les situations en météorologie où l'air entreprend un mouvement vertical (vers le haut ou vers le bas) sont nombreuses. [...] le mouvement vertical vers le haut est appelé ascendance alors que le mouvement vers le bas est appelée subsidence. 4, record 1, French, - ascendance

Le terme d'ascendance est très couramment utilisé dans le vol libre pour désigner au sein de l'atmosphère un courant ascendant que son intensité, sa durée de vie et sa «sécurité» rendent exploitable par le pilote. En météorologie, toutefois, ce même terme s'applique plus généralement à tout mouvement vertical de l'air vers le haut, quelle que soit l'échelle spatio-temporelle à laquelle on le considère. 5, record 1, French, - ascendance
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'air peut s'élever pour diverses raisons; citons les ascendances thermiques (montée d'air chaud), frontales (élévation d'air le long du front polaire), de convergence le long de la zone de convergence intertropicale par exemple), orographiques (versant montagneux), etc. 6, record 1, French, - ascendance
