Meteorologists describe the horizontal movement of cold and warm air by the wind as temperature advection... Specifically, cold-air advection... describes the horizontal transport of cold air by the wind... cold-air advection causes local temperatures to decrease with time, and [it is] the primary cause of temperature decreases behind cold frontal passages. 3, record 1, English, - cold%20air%20advection

Basically[, ] marine fog represented by the [climate] model is warm air advection fog, and it was found that the change in the horizontal temperature advection near the surface mostly determines the changes in marine fog in a warmer climate. Therefore, the changes in marine fog can be almost explained by the large-scale circulation changes. On the other hand, in-cloud LWC(liquid water content) of the fog is consistently increased in a warmer climate for the same horizontal surface temperature advection. 2, record 2, English, - warm%2Dair%20advection%20fog

Meteorologists describe the horizontal movement of cold and warm air by the wind as temperature advection... Specifically,... warm-air advection... represents the horizontal transport of warm air by the wind. Acting alone, warm-air advection causes local temperatures to increase with time, and is the primary cause of temperature increases associated with warm frontal passages. 3, record 3, English, - warm%20air%20advection
