The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid, usually as the result of convection

The approximate surface air temperature which must be reached for surface-based convection to initiate

plural of convective current

plural of convective temperature

A huge complex of thunderstorms that can sometimes reach the size of Texas.

plural of mesoscale convective system

A loop of moving fluid (such as air or water) in which the motion results from differences in density caused by differences in temperature.

plural of convection cell

The convection (carriage) of contents of a fluid, such as mass or (especially) heat, by means of currents induced in the fluid by a force which is not dependent on density changes in the fluid induced by heat.

(physics) The convection (carriage) of contents of a fluid, such as mass or heat, by means of currents induced in the fluid by buoyancy forces which are dependent on gravity acting upon density differences within the fluid.
