A process whereby low-level convergence in the wind field produces convection and cumulus formation, thereby releasing latent heat. This enhances the convergence and further increases convection. The atmospheric environment that favors CISK is found over warm, tropical oceans where there is an abundant supply of moisture, the Coriolis force is small, and air convergence is strong.

The property that a finite-difference approximation is formulated in such a way that it has access to the information that is required to determine the solution of the corresponding differential equation; violating this condition leads to a numerical instability. As an example, suppose the solution to the differential equation is a wave traveling at speed c. If a finite-difference approximation is only able to access information on its grid that is traveling at speeds less than c, it violates the CFL condition and it will not be able to approximate the solution of the differential equation.

Changes in time of one or more variables. Fluctuations may be regular or irregular, but a sustained trend is not typically called a fluctuation.

Industry:Weather
Any systematic change in the long-term statistics of climate elements (such as temperature, pressure, or winds) sustained over several decades or longer. Climate change may be due to natural external forcings, such as changes in solar emission or slow changes in the earth's orbital elements; natural internal processes of the climate system; or anthropogenic forcing.

The process of demonstrating that an observed change in climate is highly unusual in a statistical sense, although a reason for the change is not necessarily provided. Attribution is the process of establishing the cause of a particular change in climate, including the testing of competing hypotheses. Climate change detection and attribution studies attempt to distinguish between anthropogenic and natural influences on climate. Any anthropogenic effect will be superimposed on the background “noise” of natural climate variability.

A graph that represents climatological information. Usually two or more climatic elements are plotted to show the changes in their relationship throughout the year. Often the climatic elements are plotted on the ordinate axis and time (usually month) plotted on the abscissa. Alternatively, the 12 monthly values of one climatic element are plotted on the ordinate versus the corresponding monthly values of another climatic element plotted on the abscissa, and the resulting points are connected with a continuous line. See hythergraph.
