Cold air advection Flow of air from relatively cool localities to relatively warm localities.
Cold clouds Clouds composed of ice crystals or supercooled water droplets or a mixture of both which have temperatures below 0 ·C (32 ·F).
Cold Air Advection Transport of cold air into a region by horizontal winds.
CAA- Cold Air Advection, The movement of colder air horizontally toward a fixed point on the earth's surface.
CAP- Temperature inversion which prevents convection from occurring.

CAA: Cold Air Advection.
CEILING: The height of the lowest layer of clouds, when the sky is broken or overcast.
CHANCE: A 30, 40 or 50 percent chance of occurrence of measurable precipitation.
CAA- Cold Air Advection
Calm- the absence of apparent motion in the air.
CAA - Cold Air Advection. The movement of colder air toward a fixed point on the earth's surface.
CALM - the absence of apparent motion in the air.
CAP - Temperature inversion which prevents convection from occurring.
The outcome is that a geostrophic wind that advects warm air into a region of colder air causes the wind to turn right (clockwise, veering) with height, while cold air advection into a region of warmer air results in the wind turning left ...
Backing- relates to time trend and wind direction; backing winds trend counter-clockwise and are indicative of cold air advection.
For example, advection makes it possible for cold Canadian air to move into the tropics, as with a strong winter cold front. Specifically Cold Air Advection (CAA) or Warm Air Advection (WAA) is also used for this entry.
at a given location (e.g. from southerly to southeasterly), or change direction in a counterclockwise sense with height (e.g. westerly at the surface but becoming more southerly aloft). Backing winds with height are indicative of cold air advection ...
Cold Air: Moves towards warm air.
Cold Air: Is heavy and sinks. Will lift up warmer air.
Cold Air Advection: The horizontal transfer of cold air to warm air.
Cold Air Occlusion: When cold air overtakes and replaces warm air.
