Stratospheric Instability

Stratospheric Instability is a theoretical construct in atmospheric science that denotes the tendency of the stratospheric layer to exhibit vertical air motions due to localized deviations from thermal equilibrium, distinguished by its occurrence above the tropopause and its primary dependence on radiative and dynamic processes rather than convective buoyancy.
