Discussion
Which total mass flux comparison holds between a cyclone and a thunderstorm?
Answer: A
A synoptic system lifting 1 centimetre per second over a million square kilometres moves a mass flux comparable with a large convective complex lifting several metres per second over a few thousand square kilometres. Comparing area times velocity rather than velocity alone is what makes the two commensurable, and the exercise is a useful corrective to judging importance by intensity.
