Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004667
The presence and intensity of atmospheric processes driven by buoyancy, primarily involving rising air parcels that lead to cloud formation and precipitation. This can range from scattered cumulus clouds to widespread thunderstorms and severe weather events. Convective activity is often monitored using radar and satellite observations.
