level of neutral buoyancy[edit | edit source]

(
Also called equilibrium level.) The level at which an air parcel, rising or descending adiabatically, attains the same density as its environment.


  1. That property of an object that enables it to float on the surface of a liquid, or ascend through and remain freely suspended in a compressible fluid such as the atmosphere.
