Advective

⭐⭐⭐
adjective (meteorology / climatology / fluid dynamics / thermodynamics)

Definition

Relating to advection; caused, induced, or driven by the process of advection (the horizontal transport of an atmospheric or fluid property, such as mass, heat, or moisture). In synoptic meteorology, the term describes complex phenomena triggered by large-scale horizontal air mass movements, such as advective fog or advective frost, both originating from the sudden intrusion of an air front with contrasting thermal traits over a region.
