THE FIRST LAW of THERMODYNAMICS: Conservation of energy
... Internal energy is a STATE VARIABLE: the change in internal energy is the difference between initial and final states. du is independent of path between initial and final states. The state variables, like u, are functions of any TWO independent intensive variables, e.g., p, T, v (specific volume). E ...

Atmospheric convection
Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to instability. Mixing of air during the day which expands the height of the planetary boundary layer leads to increased winds, cumulus cloud development, and decreased surface dew points. Moist convection leads to thunderstorm development, which is often responsible for severe weather throughout the world. Special threats from thunderstorms include hail, downbursts, and tornadoes.
