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, fiche 1, Anglais, - vertical%20atmospheric%20motion

... the "Atmospheric Surface Layer"(ASL), the layer of the atmosphere within which all our activities(except flying) take place. The ASL is the inner layer of the PBL within which vertical mixing is limited by proximity to the ground-a layer within which the eddy size is small because the solid barrier prohibits any organized downward(or upward) motion. Vast amounts of heat and vapour travel through this surface layer to the outer PBL and ultimately the whole atmosphere.  8, fiche 2, Anglais, - surface%20boundary%20layer

The term "atmospheric boundary layer" may sometimes means "planetary boundary layer". To avoid confusion and misunderstanding within one another, preferably do not use these terms.  9, fiche 2, Anglais, - surface%20boundary%20layer

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

meridional flow : In meteorology, a term meaning longitudinal or along a meridian such as northerly or southerly; opposed to zonal which is westerly or easterly. It is also an atmospheric circulation in a vertical plane oriented along a meridian. It consists, therefore, of the vertical and the meridional(north or south) components of motion only.  3, fiche 3, Anglais, - meridional%20flow
