Positive Vorticity Advection

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-002081

(Abbrev. PVA) - Advection of higher values of vorticity into an area, which often
is associated with upward motion (lifting) of the air. PVA typically is found in advance of
disturbances aloft (i.e., shortwaves), and is a property which often enhances the potential for
thunderstorm development.
