2 ways that a parcel of air can become saturated
Sublimation
Ice to vapour
Deposition
Vapour to ice
Convection
Energy transferred by the vertical movement of air
Advection
Energy transferred by the horizontal movement of air

Three common causes of temperature inversions
Low clouds
Below 8500ft
Medium clouds
8500ft to 20,000ft
High clouds
Above 20,000ft
Subsidence
Downward movement of an air parcel as it cools and becomes denser.
Isothermal
Temperature lapse rate is 0. Temperature remains the same for a specific vertical distance.
Convergence
Convergence occurs when there is a net horizontal inflow of air into a surface region. The accumulated mass of air near the surface leads to up motion.
Divergence
Divergence occurs when there is a net horizontal outflow of air at the surface (termed horizontal divergence). The deficit of air at low levels leads to downward motion.
Gusts
Increases in wind speed lasting for just a few seconds and are indicative of instability and turbulence in the boundary layer.
Squalls
Strong winds that rise suddenly, last for some minutes, and then rapidly die away again.
Wind sheer
Marked change in wind direction and/or speed.
Föhn wind
Dry, warm, down-slope wind that occurs in the lee of a mountain range
