Convective Cells

Convective Cells is a meteorological construct representing a distinct, organized unit of fluid motion in the atmosphere wherein buoyancy-driven updrafts and compensating downdrafts form a closed circulation loop, differentiating it from unorganized convection by its coherent, cell-like thermodynamic and dynamic structure.
