2. Free convective layer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_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 in which rising air can experience positive buoyancy (PBE) so that deep, moist convection (DMC) can occur.

3. Water cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

   The processes that drive these movements are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, sublimation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid and vapor. The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation.

4. Condensation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

   Condensation is the change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization. The word most often refers to the water cycle . [ 1 ] It can also be defined as the change in the state of water vapor to liquid water when in contact with a liquid or solid surface or cloud condensation nuclei within ...

   The liquid phase produced by the condensation of steam or any other gas; The product of a chemical condensation reaction, other than water; Natural-gas condensate, in the natural gas industry; Condensate, a 2011 album by The Original 7ven, the band formerly known as The Time

6. Water vapor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

   Condensation in the atmosphere forms cloud droplets. Also, a net condensation of water vapor occurs on surfaces when the temperature of the surface is at or below the dew point temperature of the atmosphere. Deposition is a phase transition separate from condensation which leads to the direct formation of ice from water vapor.

   Also actiniform. Describing a collection of low-lying, radially structured clouds with distinct shapes (resembling leaves or wheels in satellite imagery), and typically organized in extensive mesoscale fields over marine environments. They are closely related to and sometimes considered a variant of stratocumulus clouds. actinometer A scientific instrument used to measure the heating power of ...
