In general, convection refers to the transport of some property by fluid movement, most often
with reference to heat transport. As such, it is one of the three main processes by which heat …

Tornadoes, with measured wind speeds of 125 ms~ 1 to perhaps 140 ms~ 1, are the most
violent of atmospheric storms (Fig. 5.1). A tornado is defined here as a violently rotating …
