Convective storm detection is the meteorological observation, and short-term prediction, of deep moist convection (DMC). DMC describes atmospheric conditions producing single or clusters of large vertical extension clouds ranging from cumulus congestus to cumulonimbus, the latter producing thunderstorms associated with lightning and thunder.

Convective storm detection is the meteorological observation, and short-term prediction, of deep moist convection (DMC). DMC describes atmospheric conditions producing single or clusters of large vertical extension clouds ranging from cumulus congestus to cumulonimbus, the latter producing thunderstorms associated with lightning and thunder. Those two types of clouds can produce severe weather at the surface and aloft.
The ability to discern the presence of deep moist convection in a storm significantly improves meteorologists' capacity to predict and monitor associated phenomena such as tornadoes, large hail, strong winds, and heavy rain leading to flash flooding. It relies on direct eyewitness observations, for example from storm spotters; and on remote sensing, especially weather radar. Some in situ measurements are…
Cumulus cloud
Cumulus clouds are white clouds that are dense and large. They are known to look like cauliflower. Mostly, cumulus clouds have flat bottoms but the tops are always changing shape.
Seeing a cumulus cloud means that the air is well mixed by up and down vertical drafts. When a cumulus cloud grows into a thunderstorm, the cloud is called a cumulonimbus cloud. This is a sign that the air is rising to the stratosphere.[1]

[ES]Una tormenta es un fenómeno meteorológico en el que se producen rayos y su efecto sonoro: el trueno. Están asociadas a un tipo de nubes llamado cumulo-nimbo. Los efectos que suelen traer las tormentas son precipitación de intensidad moderada acompañada de vientos con rachas que pueden ser muy fuertes. Los ingredientes que hacen falta para que se origine una tormenta son básicamente tres: humedad, inestabilidad atmosférica y un mecanismo que haga subir el aire húmedo.
