\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Pre-Convective Environment<\/h2>\n
Refers to the 4-D thermodynamic and wind field present before the convective initiation occurs.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\n

2. Convective Initiation<\/h2>\n
Refers to the process where an existing cumulus cloud begins rapid vertical growth.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Mature Convective Storm<\/h2>\n
Refers to the presence of convective clouds with tops at or above their local equilibrium level<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
