In a sufficiently unstable local atmosphere, this causes the convection to reach far higher, and to condense large amounts of water vapor, which fall as rain showers. If the rising motions are ...

The heating of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere by the Sun causes convection in the atmosphere and oceans, producing winds, clouds and ocean currents. For example, as the Sun heats the Earth ...

The research team had previously developed an integrated atmospheric model across scales ... enabling monthly forecasts at a global convection-permitting scale (3km resolution).

Understanding what triggers severe storms is not just a question for scientists but a matter of safety and preparedness for communities worldwide. Severe weather events like thunderstorms and ...
