Preferred term

convection  

Definition

  • Transfer of heat (and other properties such as energy and moisture) within a fluid by motion. In the atmosphere, it is restricted to vertical motion, advection being used to describe horizontal heat transfer. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environmental Change; convection]
