Difference between Atmospheric convection and Equilibrium level

Atmospheric convection vs. Equilibrium level

Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. In meteorology, the equilibrium level (EL), or level of neutral buoyancy (LNB), or limit of convection (LOC), is the height at which a rising parcel of air is at the same temperature as its environment.

Similarities between Atmospheric convection and Equilibrium level

Atmospheric convection and Equilibrium level have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric thermodynamics, Cumulonimbus cloud, Fluid parcel, Level of free convection, Maximum parcel level, Thunderstorm, Tropopause, Vertical draft.

Atmospheric thermodynamics

Atmospheric thermodynamics is the study of heat-to-work transformations (and their reverse) that take place in the earth's atmosphere and manifest as weather or climate.

Cumulonimbus cloud

Cumulonimbus, from the Latin cumulus ("heaped") and nimbus ("rainstorm"), is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents.

Fluid parcel

In fluid dynamics, within the framework of continuum mechanics, a fluid parcel is a very small amount of fluid, identifiable throughout its dynamic history while moving with the fluid flow.

Level of free convection

The level of free convection (LFC) is the altitude in the atmosphere where the temperature of the environment decreases faster than the moist adiabatic lapse rate of a saturated air parcel at the same level.

Maximum parcel level

The maximum parcel level (MPL) is the highest level in the atmosphere that a moist convectively rising air parcel will reach after ascending from the level of free convection (LFC) through the free convective layer (FCL) and reaching the equilibrium level (EL), near the tropopause.

Thunderstorm

A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, lightning storm, or thundershower, is a storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere, known as thunder.

Tropopause

The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere.

Vertical draft

An updraft is a small‐scale current of rising air, often within a cloud.

Atmospheric convection and Equilibrium level Comparison

Atmospheric convection has 72 relations, while Equilibrium level has 15. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 9.20% = 8 / (72 + 15).
