S-curve
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008711
A graphical representation characterized by an initial slow growth phase, followed by a period of rapid acceleration, and then a leveling off as growth approaches a maximum limit. In meteorology, this shape can describe the cumulative precipitation over time during a storm or the growth of a weather system's intensity. It illustrates a typical pattern of development and saturation.
