Concerns Regarding Severe Deep Moist Convection
Buoyancy is key to thunderstorm growth and is necessary for any of the severe threats within a thunderstorm. There are other processes, not necessarily thermodynamic, that can increase updraft strength. These include updraft rotation, low level convergence, and evacuation of mass out of the top of the updraft via strong upper level winds and the jet stream.

Famous quotes containing the words concerns, severe, deep and/or moist:
“American thinking, when it concerns itself with beautiful letters as when it concerns itself with religious dogma or political theory, is extraordinarily timid and superficial ... [I]t evades the genuinely serious problems of art and life as if they were stringently taboo ... [T]he outward virtues it undoubtedly shows are always the virtues, not of profundity, not of courage, not of originality, but merely those of an emasculated and often very trashy dilettantism.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet deep down in his private heart no man much respects himself.”

It is almost unbearable—
so moist and breathlike.”
