This diagram shows three major convective cells between the equator and the pole. |
The rain-bringing mesoscale convective system is strong, and the torrential rains move slowly northwards along the Western side of the mountains. |
This cycle is repeated over and over to generate what scientists call a convection cell or convective flow. |
Our results show that the conductive heat transfer model and the convective plus radiative heat transfer model best represent the data measured. |
The conditions required for tropical cyclones are also suitable conditions for thunderstorms, deep convective clouds with strong updraughts. |
Any factor which increases convective heat loss also increases evaporative heat loss. |
