warm/moist advection

Definition of warm/moist advection in meteorological terms

Warm/moist advection is the transport of warm and moist air into an area, typically leading to increasing temperatures and humidity in that region.

Longer explaination:

Warm/moist advection refers to the horizontal movement of warm, moist air into an area of cooler air. This process often occurs ahead of a warm front and can lead to the development of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather. Warm/moist advection can also contribute to the formation of low-pressure systems and help to fuel the development of storms.
