Vertical atmospheric motion. Most brief but violent disturbances in Earth's wind systems involve large areas of ascending and descending air. ... a thunderstorm is said to develop when the atmosphere becomes "unstable to vertical motion[."] Such an instability can arise whenever relatively warm, light air is overlain by cooler, heavier air. Under such conditions[,] the cooler air tends to sink, displacing the warmer air upward. 1, record 2, English, - vertical%20atmospheric%20motion

If the earth were not rotating, the wind would blow exclusively from high to low pressure. Close to the earth, it would be slowed by friction between the atmosphere and the earth's surface but would maintain the same direction with height. However, since the earth undergoes rotation, there is an apparent force acting on horizontal atmospheric motions when examined from a point of reference on the earth's surface. For example, [as] viewed from space (the absolute frame of reference), the [wind] flow [continues] in a straight line. However, as viewed from the earth, the flow has undergone an apparent deflection to the right. 3, record 3, English, - horizontal%20atmospheric%20motion

When arctic-origin air in winter flows southward (northward in the southern hemisphere) across (relatively) warmer seas, strong surface heating acts both to enhance the degree of instability, and trigger vigorous moist convective towers. This is sufficient alone to give rise to heavy, wintry showers/cumulonimbus clusters etc., but often marked troughing, or even a closed circulation in the isobaric flow is found; the resultant low-level convergence/positive vorticity enhancement, plus the localised concentration of the latent heat energy released, enhances development within the system, and an intense (but synoptically small) area of rain, hail, sleet or snow & squally winds can result - a polar low (or polar depression or polar meso-cyclone in some texts). 2, record 24, English, - polar%20low
