2. Convective storm detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_storm_detection

   Convective storm detection is the meteorological observation, and short-term prediction, of deep moist convection (DMC). DMC describes atmospheric conditions producing single or clusters of large vertical extension clouds ranging from cumulus congestus to cumulonimbus , the latter producing thunderstorms associated with lightning and thunder .

   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 ...

5. Mesoscale convective system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoscale_convective_system

   A mesoscale convective complex (MCC) is a unique kind of mesoscale convective system which is defined by characteristics observed in infrared satellite imagery. Their area of cold cloud tops exceeds 100,000 square kilometres (39,000 sq mi) with temperature less than or equal to −32 °C (−26 °F); and an area of cloud top of 50,000 square ...

   A mesoscale convective complex (MCC) is a unique kind of mesoscale convective system which is defined by characteristics observed in infrared satellite imagery. They are long-lived, often form nocturnally, and commonly contain heavy rainfall , wind , hail , lightning , and possibly tornadoes .

7. Line echo wave pattern - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_echo_wave_pattern

   Radar schematic of a LEWP. This shape is a single wave along the pattern, for real LEWPs this shape is tessellated repeatedly in a linear fashion. A line echo wave pattern (LEWP) is a weather radar formation in which a single line of thunderstorms presenting multiple bow echoes forms south (or equatorward) of a mesoscale low-pressure area with a rotating "head".

8. Atmospheric convection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_convection

   Atmospheric convection is the vertical transport of heat and moisture in the atmosphere.It occurs when warmer, less dense air rises, while cooler, denser air sinks. This process is driven by parcel-environment instability, meaning that a "parcel" of air is warmer and less dense than the surrounding environment at the same altitude.
