Convective Updraft Strength

Convective Updraft Strength is a meteorological metric that quantifies the maximum vertical velocity within a convective cloud, distinguishing itself from related measures by specifically characterizing the intensity of buoyancy-driven air parcels in the context of deep moist convection.
