31Convective inhibition — A Skew T diagram with important features labeled Convective inhibition (CIN or CINH) is a numerical measure in meteorology that indicates the amount of energy that will prevent an air parcel from rising from the surface to the level of free… …
32Convection — This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection in the Earth s mantle. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. A hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes of hot material upwards, and likewise,… …
33Lightning — This article is about the atmospheric electrical phenomenon. For other uses, see Lightning (disambiguation). See also: Lightning strike Lightning striking Atlanta, United States Lightning is an atmospheric electrostatic discharge (spar …
34Dew point depression — The dew point depression (T Td) is the difference between the temperature and dew point temperature at a certain height in the atmosphere. The smaller the difference, the more moisture there is, and the higher the relative humidity. In the lower… …
35Dry-bulb temperature — The dry bulb temperature is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air but shielded from radiation and moisture. Dry bulb temperature is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the… …
36Convective instability — For a more general discussion of the same phenomenon, see Convective available potential energy. This article incorporates public domain text created by the US government. In meteorology, convective instability or stability of an airmass refers… …
37Free convective layer — In atmospheric sciences, the free convective layer (FCL) is the layer of conditional or potential instability in the troposphere. It is a layer of positive buoyancy (PBE) and is the layer where deep, moist convection (DMC) can occur. On an… …
38Air parcel — An air parcel is an imaginary volume of air used by meteorologists to conceptualize the thermodynamic fluid motions of the atmosphere for use in weather forecasting. For mathematical simplicity, an air parcel is usually considered a rigid cube… …
39Wall cloud — A wall cloud, or pedestal cloud, is a cloud formation associated with thunderstorms. It is a marked lowering typically beneath the rain free base (RFB) portion of a deep cumulus cloud (normally cumulonimbus but on occasion cumulus congestus), and …
