The horizontal transport of any atmospheric property by the wind is called?

Advection. It refers to the movement of air, heat, moisture, or other atmospheric properties in a horizontal direction by the wind.


What is the antonym for convection?

The antonym for convection is advection. Advection refers to the transfer of heat through horizontal movement of air or water, while convection involves the vertical movement of fluids.


What is advection?

Advection is the process of transferring heat, moisture, or other properties within a fluid (such as air or water). It occurs when the fluid moves from one place to another, carrying along the properties of the fluid with it. Advection plays a role in weather patterns, ocean currents, and many other natural processes.


Is advection a phenomenon?

Advection refers to the process of transferring heat, moisture, or pollution through the movement of air or water. It is a meteorological phenomenon that plays a significant role in weather patterns and climate dynamics.

In meteorology what is the horizontal movement of mass that warms or chills the air?

That would be something called advection. The air doesn't get warmed or chilled because of the horizontal movement of mass, but rather the temperature of the air changes because warmer or colder air is advected. In the case where warm air is advected, we call that warm air advection and in the case where cold air is advected, we call that cold air advection.


How does advection differ from convection?

Atmospheric and oceanographic sciences generally differentiate between vertical convection and horizontal advection. These disciplines study the atmosphere and the oceans which are both much wider in the horizontal than they are thick in the vertical. Making the distinction between horizontal (i.e. isopycnal, along surfaces of constant density) and vertical (i.e. diapycnal, through density surfaces) therefore makes sense for meteorologists and oceanographers. In fluid mechanics on the other hand the terminology is often used interchangeably. Their study environment is frequently a tank in a laboratory and therefore is more of a cube compared to the thin oceanic layer on the Earth. In fluid mechanics, advection and convection is the same.
