All,
I finally got off my butt and looked up advection in a decent Technical Encyclopedia, McGraw Hill, 1984. I just wanted to share.
Advection - Transport of an atmospheric property soley by the mass motion of the atmomsphere
Convection - Atmospheric motion, predominatly vertical, resulting in the vertical transport and mixing of atmospheric properties.
In addition to flying, I love all this sciency stuff. A decent definition makes it all come together.
