Condensation Level: The altitude at which a rising air parcel reaches saturation, usually the cloud base height.
Condensation level The level above the surface marking the base of a cumuliform cloud.
Condensation nuclei Tiny particles upon whose surfaces condensation of water vapor begins in the atmosphere.
condensation level—The height at which a rising parcel or layer of air would become saturated if lifted adiabatically.
condensation nuclei—Small particles in the air on which water vapor condenses or sublimates.
Lifting Condensation Level (LCL) - the level in the atmosphere at which an unsaturated air parcel lifted dry adiabatically would become saturated. See convective condensation level (CCL).
LIFTING CONDENSATION LEVEL (LCL) The height at which a parcel of moist air becomes saturated when it is lifted dry adiabatically.
Lifting Condensation Level (LCL) It is the height at which a parcel of air becomes saturated when lifted dry-adiabatically.
Lightning A sudden visible flash of energy and light caused by an electrical discharges from thunderstorms.
Lifting condensation level (LCL) The altitude to which air must be lifted so that expansional cooling leads to condensation (or deposition) and cloud development; corresponds to the base of clouds.
Lifting Condensation Level - The level in the atmosphere where a lifted air parcel reaches its saturation point, and as a result, the water vapor within condenses into water droplets.
Condensation Level
The level in the atmosphere at which a parcel of air reaches saturation.

Convective Condensation Level- The level in the atmosphere to which an air parcel, if heated from below, will rise dry adiabatically, without becoming colder than its environment just before the parcel becomes saturated.
CONVECTIVE CONDENSATION LEVEL (CCL)
The height at which a parcel of air, if heated sufficiently from below, will rise adiabatically until it is just saturated.
LCL: Lifting Condensation Level.
LDN: Lightning Detection Network.
LST: Local Standard Time.
LIFR: Low IFR Ceiling. Aviation
LLWS: Low Level Wind Shear.
LCL - Lifted Condensation Level. A measure, in pressure altitude above sea level, at which the condensation level will be located.
As a result, air rises upwards from the relatively hot surface of the pavement, reaches its condensation level, condenses, and forms a cloud above the "hot spot". HumidityThe amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Some values that can be determined are the Convective Condensation Level (CCL), the Lifting Condensation Level (LCL), and the Level of Free Convection (LFC).

CCL - Abbreviation for convective condensation level.
cell - In radar usage, a local maximum in radar reflectivity that undergoes a life cycle of growth and decay.
The method is emperical and considers a number of parameters (ingredients) which cause snowfall, including vertical velocity (upward lift which carries air aloft to a condensation level) and mixing ratio (the mass of water vapor per mass of dry air ...

Temperature and dew point close at about 4oF for each 1,000 feet rise in altitude. When air is unstable, convective clouds may form; fog forms at the surface where the ground level is at or above the condensation level.
