On dit qu'une masse d'air est en équilibre stable, ou simplement stable, lorsqu'une particule d'air (bulle) déplacée verticalement à une petite distance de son niveau initial, sous l'effet d'une action perturbatrice très petite, tend à revenir à son niveau initial. Si cette particule tend spontanément à s'éloigner de son niveau initial sous l'effet de l'action perturbatrice primitive, la masse d'air est dite instable. Si cette particule ne manifeste aucune tendance à quitter sa nouvelle position, la masse d'air est dite en équilibre indifférent. 5, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20indiff%C3%A9rent

L'impulsion de la particule. Très souvent, on note des humidités relatives moyennes (voisines de 60 ou 70). Dans ce cas, il y a équilibre indifférent, c'est-à-dire ni instabilité ni stabilité. 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20indiff%C3%A9rent
