Atmospheric moist convention
Article Abstract:
The various forms of atmospheric moist conventions are reviewed through a consideration of three prevalent regimes like stratocumulus, trade-wind, and deep precipitating maritime convection. The regimes are chosen since they are structural components of the general circulation of the atmosphere and they highlight distinguishing features of this polymorphous phenomenon.
