Heat is transferred in three different ways, radiation, conduction, and convection. Convection involves mixing of different temperature air, and the transfer from warm to cold air. Convection can be free or laminar, where the temperature difference sets up the mixing by virtue of different density or turbulent,where the air is mixed by external source (like wind). Turbulent convection transfers more heat than laminar, and generally is more important than conduction or radiation. Thunderstorms and hurricanes are examples of extreme convective weather. However, the reverse can occur; frost occurs on nights when temperatures are above freezing if the radiational cooling transfers heat faster than it can be replaced by natural convection in an otherwise windless environment.
