Convective
clouds
are
clouds
that
develop
vertically
appearing
like
big
stacks
of
clouds.
One
very
common
example
is
cumulonimbus
clouds.
Convective
clouds
are
commonly
connected
to
stormy
weather.
Monthly
Cloud
Coverage
for
Deep
Convective

data
can
be
used
to
predict
patterns
in
weather.
The
specific
pattern
associated
with
this
data
is
tracking
and
