 CONVECTION : PARCEL
THEORY

• Buoyant convection
• Conversion of Potential energy to Kinetic energy
• Assumptions
– Parcel does not disturb or interact with environmental air.
– Parcel has uniform properties throughout.
– Pressure instantly adjusts to pressure of surroundings.

• Velocity predicted is likely to be too high

• Vertical velocity may be interpreted as an expected upper
5 4/ 6

limit for vertical velocity in buoyant convection.
