Most aircraft flying these routes are able to avoid the larger convective cells without incident.

It showed no convective cells on the aircraft's path and he turned it off.

Convective cells may form in the surrounding area of troughs and give birth to a tropical cyclone.

In response, immense convective cells - some of them large enough to have swallowed Sol itself surged through the interior.

The huge convective cells buffeted and merged like living things, whales in this insubstantial sea of gas. '

Discrete convective cells in the atmosphere can be seen as clouds, with stronger convection resulting in thunderstorms.

The storm contained a large low-level center, accompanied by convective banding, and was developing new convective cells.

Using microbolometers engraved in the convective cell he was able to observe temperature fluctuations without perturbing the environment.

"Convective cells in nonuniform dusty plasmas", Phys.

The grainy appearance of the solar photosphere is produced by the tops of these convective cells and is called granulation.

Convective cells larger than the Earth, tangled with ropes of magnetic flux, filled the world around her with a complex, dynamic, three dimensional tapestry.

They'd heard about convective cells and vortices and of the stratified layers of lighter gases that sit on the top of the atmosphere.

Lightning data is useful in suggesting intensity and organization of convective cells as well trends in thunderstorm activity (particularly growth, and to a lesser degree, decay).

The granules, individual convective cells, were themselves grouped into loose associations: supergranules, tens of thousands of miles across, roughly bounded by thin, shifting walls of stable gas.

Here, exceedingly large convective cells bring very large quantities of hot asthenospheric material near the surface and the kinetic energy is thought to be sufficient to break apart the lithosphere.

The storm was described by Nair, Hjelmfelt, and Pielke as "convective cells of high precipitation efficiency a characteristic of tropical precipitation systems.

The large horizontal extent of these convective cells provides a buffer from the dry air surrounding the convective region that allows the parcel to rise at nearly the moist adiabatic lapse rate.

As the convergence line spawns deep convective cells, they flow over progressively warmer waters creating further instability and prime conditions for prolonged convection across Pembrokeshire, Cornwall and west Devon.

The individual convective cells that collectively make up an actinoform cloud are quite shallow, with heights generally less than 2 km, and would be classified as stratocumulus clouds by an observer on the ground.

She was deep within the Sun's convective zone, the broad mantle of turbulent material beneath the glowing photosphere; convective cells larger than the Earth, tangled with ropes of magnetic flux, filled the world around her.

In another false-color image obtained by infrared interferometry two large, bright star spots spanning 10 milliarcseconds are visible on the surface of Betelgeuse, possibly representing enormous convective cells rising from below the supergiant's surface.

Consequently, if only a third of these convective cells are visible at any one time, the variations in their observable light emission may result in the recorded irregular brightness variations of the overall light from the star.

Whole-mantle (simple) convection proponents hold that the mantle's observed density differences (which are inferred to be products of mineral phase transitions) do not restrict convective motion, which moves through the upper and lower mantle as a single convective cell.

The relative high density (number per unit area) of IC flashes allows convective cells to be identified when mapping lightning whereas CG lightning are too few and far between to identify cells which typically are about 5 km in diameter.

Plate tectonics appear particularly crucial, at least on Earth: not only does the process recycle important chemicals and minerals, it also fosters bio-diversity through continent creation and increased environmental complexity and helps create the convective cells necessary to generate Earth's magnetic field.
