Why will the base of vortex stay in the center of the vortex station?
The energy source is the buoyancy of the rising air. Solar radiation heats the earth’s surface and the earth’s surface in turn heats the air via sensible and latent heating. This heating gives air originally from near the surface of the earth the ability to become buoyant when it rises through ambient air. Convection is a one way street. Surface air has the potential of becoming positively buoyant and thereby to continue accelerating upward. Air from higher up in the troposphere does not usually have the potential of becoming negatively buoyant. Descending air tends to get warmer than the air through which it descends thereby becoming positively buoyant. Potential temperature normally increases in the upward direction which means that air descending from the upper of the troposphere becomes warmer than the ambient air. The descending air becomes positively buoyant which stops its downward motion. An exception to the above stability relating to downward motion is when the parcel is cool
