noun

Konvektion, vertikale Wärme- und Feuchtigkeitsbewegung

The vertical movement of heat and moisture, especially by updrafts and downdrafts in an unstable air mass. The terms convection and thunderstorm are often used interchangeably, although thunderstorms are only one form of convection. Towering cumulus clouds are visible forms of convection.

Examples :

""On a hot summer day, you can see convection at work as puffy cumulus clouds rise high into the sky, carrying warm, moist air upward." "

An einem heißen Sommertag kann man die Konvektion beobachten, wenn sich die Quellwolken hoch in den Himmel erheben und warme, feuchte Luft nach oben transportieren.
