How Convection Contributes To Storms: Convection is a simple concept in itself: warm air rises and cool air sinks. In a stable atmosphere warm air rises, then cools down and sinks, only to warm-up ...

Plus, when the radar detects an increasing amount of rain, we can tell that convection is continuing to fuel a storm. For convection to happen, the atmosphere needs to be unstable, with warmer air ...

convection cell—Convection is the movement of heat within a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents. With natural convection—the type responsible for atmospheric movement—the ...

We received many different cloud pictures from yesterday afternoon and early evening. Many of these cloud pictures left us awestruck with how beautiful they were.

In a sufficiently unstable local atmosphere, this causes the convection to reach far higher, and to condense large amounts of water vapor, which fall as rain showers.

During winter, the presence of snow cover greatly reduces the amount of radiation received on the ground, which then greatly reduces the convection process. This is why the introduction of snow ...

Science 101 tells us that the twinkling appearance of stars from our vantage point on Earth is due to atmospheric effects: winds and varying temperatures and densities in the air bend and distort ...

The atmospheric vortex engine exploits the natural energy content of the vortex produced during upward heat convection in the atmosphere. The heat source can be solar energy, warm sea water, warm ...

That convection pulls layers of Jupiter's atmosphere up and down depending on factors like temperature and humidity. Earth's atmosphere does this as well, but not in exactly the same way.

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island, have, for the first time, found evidence for cloud convection in the northern hemisphere of Titan, Saturn's moon.
