Abstract

The chapter places the importance of atmospheric convection in tropical climate and its discovery from early field studies. Early concepts of atmospheric convection are discussed alongside new concepts developed in the recent decade. The equatorial wave theory is introduced in this chapter and concluded with a discussion of the concept of organization of atmospheric convection.
