Definition: Convection |
ConvectionNoun1. The transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion. 2. (meteorology) the vertical movement of heat or other properties by massive motion within the atmosphere. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Etymology: Convection \Con*vec"tion\, noun. [Latin expression convectio, from convehere to bring together; con- vehere to carry.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | 1. In general, mass motions within a fluid resulting in transport and mixing of the properties of that fluid. Compare conduction, radiation.2. Specifically, in meteorology, atmospheric motions that are predominantly vertical. Compare advection. (references) |
Energy | Transferring heat by moving air, or transferring heat by means ofupward motion of particles of liquid or gas heat from beneath. (references) |
| The transfer of heat by means of air currents. (references) | |
| Heat transfer by the movement of fluid. (references) | |
| Transfer by the movement offluid. (references) | |
Mining | A. A process of mass movement of portions of any fluid medium (liquid or gas) in a gravitational field as a consequence of different temperatures in the medium and hence different densities. The process thus moves both the medium and the heat, and the term convection is used to signify either or both. b. In hydrothermal systems, the flow of water around and through heated zones adjacent to plutons in response to thermal gradients and controlled by porosity-permeability, salinity, fluid viscosity, and allied factors. The flow is generally down along the periphery, toward the system at depth, and upward along and through its central portions, possiblycompleting more than one loop. (references) |
Physics | The transfer of heat in, or by, a liquid or a gas by the movement of the medium itself, i. e. by mixing of the particles, due mainly to a change of density with heating. Source: European Union. (references) |
| Organized internal motions within a layer of air, leading to vertical transport of heat etc. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| The physical upwelling of hot matter, thus transporting energy from a lower, hotter region to a higher, cooler region. A bubble of gas that is hotter than its surroundings expands and rises. When it has cooled by passing on its extra heat to its surroundings, the bubble sinks again. Convection can occur when there is a substantial decrease in temperature with height, such as in the Sun's convection zone. (references) | |
Public Administration | In meteorology, the conditions whereby the air motion in the atmosphere is mainly vertical, upwards, especially of warm layers. Source: European Union. (references) |
Science | The rising of warm air and the sinking of cool air. Heat mixes and moves air. When a layer of air receives enough heat from the Earth's surface, it expands and moves upward. Colder, heavier air flows under it which is then warmed, expands, and rises. The warm rising air cools as it reaches higher, cooler regions of the atmosphere and begins to sink. Convection causes local breezes, winds, and thunderstorms. (references) |
Space | Large-scale plasma flow, circulating in the magnetosphere and driven by the solar wind. Plasma physics requires such circulation to be associated with an electric field. Assuming that the electric field propagates along magnetic field lines (as it would along good conductors of electricity) and reaches the polar ionosphere, corresponding electric fields should be observed above the polar caps, and such fields exist.In the view proposed in 1961 by Axford and Hines, plasma near the flanks is dragged tailwards by the adjoining solar wind flow, through the action of "viscous-like forces"; in the view suggested that same year by Dungey, plasma travels tailward on "open" field lines following reconnection. Evidence suggests both processes contribute. In both models the plasma returns earthward in the plasma sheet near midnight, a process which could be not continuous but intermittent, associated with substorms. (magnetospheric). (references) |
| A circulating flow in a fluid, carrying heat away from its source. Convection in the atmosphere carries heat from the sun-warmed ground to higher layers, where it is radiated away into space; the lower levels do not radiate efficiently because of the greenhouse effect. Atmospheric convection is the engine that drives the Earth's weather. Convection is also believed to occur in a certain depth range below the Sun's surface, helping carry away heat from the Sun's core region. (references) | |
Weather | Generally, transport of heat and moisture by the movement of a fluid. In meteorology, the term is used specifically to describe vertical transport of heat and moisture, especially by updrafts and downdrafts in an unstable atmosphere. The terms "convection" and "thunderstorms" often are used interchangeably, although thunderstorms are only one form of convection. Cbs, towering cumulus clouds, and ACCAS clouds all are visible forms of convection. However, convection is not always made visible by clouds. Convection which occurs without cloud formation is called dry convection, while the visible convection processes referred to above are forms of moist convection. (references) |
| Atmospheric or oceanic motions that are predominately vertical and that result in vertical transport and mixing of atmospheric or oceanic properties. Because the most striking meteorological features result if atmospheric convective motion occurs in conjunction with the rising current of air (i.e., updrafts), convection is sometimes used to imply only upward vertical motion.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Free convection occurs in any liquid or gas which expands or contracts in response to changing temperatures when it is exposed to multiple temperatures in an acceleration field such as gravity or a centrifuge. The local changes in density results in buoyancy forces that cause currents in the fluid.
In the case of Earth's atmosphere, solar radiation heats the Earth's surface, and this heat is then transferred to the air by conduction. When a layer of air receives enough heat from the Earth's surface, it expands, becomes less dense and is pushed upward by buoyancy. Colder, heavier air sinks under it and is then warmed, expands, and rises. The warm rising air cools as it reaches the higher, cooler regions of the atmosphere and begins to sink. These convection currents causes local breezes, winds, cyclones and thunderstorms.
Heat is lost from the rising air through radiation into space.
See also weather.
Solar radiation also affects the oceans. Warm water from the Equator tends to circulate toward the poless, while cold polar water heads towards the Equator.
