- The lifted condensation level and the level of free convection
- W023075Z
- The inflow axis of an LP supercell brings warm air from the left until it explodes upward in successive towers. The transition from a smooth cloud band to boiling tops shows the wide separation between the lifted condensation level (LCL) and the higher level of free convection (LFC). Convergence forces air to condense but remain stable until it reaches the LFC.
