Introduction

Part 2 of our meteorology series builds upon your knowledge of atmospheric pressure and density, introducing the vital role of temperature in weather systems. You’ll master the concepts of energy transfer, lapse rates, and stability, then progress to understanding turbulence and windshear at a professional pilot’s level.

By the end, you’ll be equipped with the analytical and practical tools to forecast weather impacts, maintain aircraft performance, and ensure safe operations in variable atmospheric conditions. This comprehensive understanding will empower you to make informed decisions in the cockpit and during pre-flight planning. Prepare to delve deeper into advanced meteorological phenomena that directly affect aviation.
