Subsidence is the downward movement of an air parcel as it cools and becomes denser. By contrast, warm air becomes less dense and moves upwards.

The sinking, or downward movement, of air over a wide area within an area of high pressure is known in meteorology as “subsidence”.

Atmospheric subsidence is the downward movement (sinking) of air parcels in the atmosphere. It is the opposite of atmospheric lift.

A subsidence inversion develops when a widespread layer of air descends. The layer is compressed and heated by the resulting increase in atmospheric pressure.

Subsidence: 1. A descending motion of air in the atmosphere occurring over a rather broad area. 2. In hydrologic terms, sinking down of part of the earth's ...

Atmospheric subsidence refers to the sinking of air that is denser (heavier) than the air below. As it subsides, increasing air pressure compresses the air ...

9 мая 2018 г. · Sinking air (subsidence) leads to generally fair weather with very few clouds and little to no rain. As the air sinks, the air compresses and warms.

Atmospheric subsidence occurs when the normal upward flow of air in the atmosphere, known as atmospheric convection, is disturbed.

30 мар. 2024 г. · A descending motion of air in the atmosphere, usually with the implication that the condition extends over a rather broad area.

31 окт. 2020 г. · If this subsidence pushes clouding over the coast, the heating element is thwarted and speeds can fall. Also, this subsidence can get thicker.
