Advection 1 : Natural Disaster. (a) In meteorology, the transfer of heat, cold, or other atmospheric properties by the horizontal motion of an air mass; in oceanography, the process of transport of water, or of an aqueous property, solely by the mass motion of the oceans, most typically via horizontal currents. [AIHA, 2000: Risk Assessment Principles for the Industrial Hygienist]; (b) To transport or carry. In air quality, the rate at which particulate matter is transported. [SHSU, 2000: Atmospheric Chemistry Glossary, attributed to Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences 51: 3109-3121 (1994) and Deep-Sea Research 41: 243-261 (1994)]; (c) Process of transport of an atmospheric property, or substance within the atmosphere, solely by the mass motion of the atmosphere.
