Advection transport of something from one region to another
The term advection refers to the transport of something from one region to another.
Advection fog Fog which forms in the lower part of a warm moist air mass moving over a colder surface (land or water).

Distribution: Worldwide, most common at sea and in coastal areas.
Advection is the transport of a conserved scalar quantity that is transported in a vector field.
advection - The process of transport of an atmospheric property solely by the mass motion (velocity field) of the atmosphere; also, the rate of change of the value of the advected property at a given point.
Advection - Transport of an atmospheric property by the wind.
Air-mass Thunderstorm - Generally, a thunderstorm not associated with a front or other type of synoptic-scale forcing mechanism.
Advection - Transport of an atmospheric property by the wind.
Anvil - The flat, spreading top of a Cb (cumulonimbus), often shaped like an anvil.
ADVECTION - The horizontal transport of air or atmospheric properties. Commonly used with temperatures, i.e., "warm air advection", or moisture, i.e., "moisture advection".
Advection: Refers to processes of transport and mixing of properties (energy, heat, moisture, etc.) of a fluid by mass motion of that fluid in the horizontal plane. In the atmosphere, the horizontal transfer of anything by the movement of air, i.
Advection Fog- a type of fog that results from the advection of moist air over a cold surface and the cooling of the air to its dew point that follows; this type of fog is most common in coastal regions.
ADVECTION
The horizontal transfer of any property in the atmosphere by the movement of air (wind). Examples include heat and moisture advection.

Advection - Horizontal convective motion (wind).
Advection Fog - Fog formed when warm moist air is blown over a cool surface and chilled below- the dew point.
Aerosols - Tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere.
Advection The horizontal movement of an air mass that causes changes in the physical properties of the air such as temperature and moisture. Commonly used with temperatures, i.e., "warm air advection", or moisture, i.e.,"moisture advection".
Advection - Horizontal movement of air or atmospheric properties, such as temperature, moisture and vorticity, to indicate the trends of that property; "horizontal convection".
Alto- - Prefix used to define mid-level clouds.
Advection The horizontal transfer of any atmospheric property by the wind.
Advection fog Occurs when warm, moist air moves over a cold surface and the air cools to below its dew point.
Advection
The sideways movement of air in the lower atmosphere due to the differences in air pressure (commonly called wind). Process of transfer of air mass properties by the velocity field of the atmosphere.

advection—The horizontal transport of air or atmospheric properties. In meteorology, sometimes referred to as the horizontal component of convection.
advection: Horizontal transport of temperature, pressure, moisture or some other atmospheric attribute solely by the wind.
aerosol: particulate matter put into the atmosphere. Examples are smoke and dust.
Advection - air and its properties, such as temperature, moving across something. Like a lake, or a map.
Air mass - A giant pool of air where properties such as temperature and dewpoint change very little over great distances.
advection fog"1. A type of fog caused by the advection of moist air over a cold surface, and the consequent cooling of that air to below its dewpoint. A very common advection fog is that caused by moist air over a cold body of water (sea fog). 2.
Advection fog Ground-level clouds generated by the cooling of a mild, humid air mass as it travels over a relatively cool surface.
Aerosols Tiny liquid or solid particles of various composition that occur suspended in the atmosphere.
Advection fog
Fog which develops when a mass of relatively warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface and cools the air below its dew point temperature. Advection fog requires movement of air to form (hence the name).
Advection Fog: It is formed as warmer, moist air moves over a cold ground. The air is cooled to saturation by the loss of heat to the cold ground. Unlike radiation fog, advection fog may form under cloudy skies and with moderate to strong winds.
Advection- Horizontal movement of air, moisture, or heat.
Advection Fog- Fog formed by warm, humid air flowing over colder ground or water.
Air Mass- A large body of air with nearly uniform temperature and moisture content.

Transport of warm air into an area by horizontal winds. Low-level warm advection sometimes is referred to (erroneously) as overrunning.
Warm Advection
Transport of warm air into an area by horizontal winds. Low-level warm advection sometimes is referred to (erroneously) as overrunning.
WARM ADVECTION
The horizontal movement of warmer air into a location.
Cold Advection - Transport of cold air into a region by horizontal winds. This transport often acts as a forcing mechanism, particular in the winter, and upward vertical motion may ensue.
COLD ADVECTION The horizontal movement of colder air into a location. Contrast with warm advection.
Advection: Transfer process due to the movement of air horizontally.
Advection Fog: Fog formed by the slow passage of a comparatively warm, moist and stable air mass over a cold surface.
ADVECTION - Transportation of clouds or one type of weather system to another place by prevailing winds or steering currents. For example, advection makes it possible for cold Canadian air to move into the tropics, as with a strong winter cold front.

Moisture Advection - Transport of moisture by horizontal winds.
Moisture Convergence - A measure of the degree to which moist air is converging into a given area, taking into account the effect of converging winds and moisture advection.
(Abbrev. PVA) - Advection of higher values of vorticity into an area, which often is associated with upward motion (lifting) of the air.
Cold Advection (CAA)Transport of cold air into a region by horizontal winds.Cold frontA narrow transition zone separating advancing colder air from retreating warmer air.
SEA FOG A type of advection fog which forms in warm moist air cooled to saturation as the air moves across cold water. See Arctic Sea Smoke for an example. SEA ICE Ice that is formed by the freezing of sea water.
These properties are interconnected by the various physical processes such as precipitation, evaporation, infrared radiation, convection, advection, and turbulence.

The "omega equation" used in numerical weather models is composed of two terms, the "differential vorticity advection" term and the "thickness advection" term.
A chemical or thermodynamic property of the flow that is conserved during advection. It can be used to track air-parcel movement and to identify the origins of air masses.
Advection: The horizontal movement of air.
Advection Fog:Clouds at ground level produced by cooling of warm humid air as it moves over a cooler surface.
Aerovane: A weather instrument which indicates wind speed and direction.

Moisture Convergence - A measure of the degree to which moist air is converging into a given area, taking into account the effect of converging winds and moisture advection.
The method also considers the wind speed aloft because it is important to the advection (transport) of water vapor into the storm system (increasing the mixing ratio) and also because it dictates how fast the winter storm moves over a given area.
remains below freezing for a sufficient time to damage certain agricultural crops. A freeze most often occurs as cold air is advected into a region, causing freezing conditions to exist in a deep layer of surface air. Also called advection frost.
