Convective circulation refers to the process of warm air rising and cool air sinking, creating a continuous cycle. Basically, it's the movement of air caused by temperature differences. Full definition
Box 1 with convective circulation driven by heating at the base and cooling at the top runs cooler than box 2 with cooling and heating at the base. (wattsupwiththat.com)
Konrad; Could you please give me a direct yes or no answer to the following question — Do you believe that strong vertical tropospheric convective circulation would continue without radiative gases? (wattsupwiththat.com)
For an atmosphere containing radiative gases, convective circulation continuously transports energy above the level of maximum IR opacity. (wattsupwiththat.com)
