ELEVATED CONVECTION

  • Most common in the cool season
  • Parcels do not rise from surface during elevated convection. Parcel lapse rate on skew-T from surface is useless when the boundary layer is very stable.
  • Parcel will generally rise from top of temperature inversion during elevated convection. On the sounding below, a parcel rising from the 700-mb level will be much less stable than a parcel rising from the surface.
