Summary
Convective Initiation
is the process where
Localized atmospheric conditions
lead to the
Formation of thunderstorms
or
Convective clouds
. It is influenced by factors such as
Surface Heating
,
Moisture Availability
, and
Atmospheric Instability
, which collectively overcome the
Inhibition of vertical air movement
.
