Atmospheric Stability is the atmosphere is considered stable or unstable depending on what happens to a parcel of air in that atmosphere when it is given an initial “push” vertically upwards or downwards. If the parcel of air continues to rise or fall then the atmosphere is unstable. If it resists movement and returns to its original position then the atmosphere is considered to be stable. The heating or cooling of the air parcel normally causes the initial push.
