Vertical atmospheric motion plays an important role in various scales of atmospheric circulation, and it plays a central role in general circulation of the atmospheric as well as in various problems such as cumulus convection which causes severe weather, formation of clouds and precipitation, the vertical transport of materials including anthropogenic greenhouse gases, and the stratosphere and troposphere exchange. The actual nature of vertical motions of the atmosphere is not well understood because directly observing the vertical motion of the atmosphere over a wide area is difficult, and atmospheric vertical velocities strongly depend on the resolution of the numerical models. In this section, we will approach the vertical motion of the atmosphere from various aspects, including observational studies of vertical motion captured by new observational technologies, such as future cloud vertical motion observations such as the EarthCARE satellite, high-resolution numerical modeling, and analysis and theory of vertical motions. Through this discussion, we aim at developing a comprehensive understanding of global environmental science in terms of atmospheric vertical motions.
