Rotational instability

{
  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008617",
  "term": "Rotational instability",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of atmospheric instability that arises when the restoring forces due to rotation are insufficient to prevent the growth of perturbations in a rotating fluid. This can lead to the formation of vortices or other organized structures. Conditional symmetric instability is an example of rotational instability that occurs in sheared, stratified flows.",
