Convective overturn

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004674",
  "term": "Convective overturn",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process by which an unstable layer of fluid, such as air, rapidly mixes vertically as warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks. This leads to a redistribution of heat and moisture throughout the layer, often resulting in a more stable stratification. Convective overturn is a fundamental mechanism for vertical energy transfer in the atmosphere.",
