Definition: Convective Condensation Level (CCL)

The convective condensation level (CCL) is the height to which a parcel of air, if heated sufficiently from below, will rise adiabatically until it is just saturated. Usually, it is the height of the base of cumuliform clouds produced by thermal convection caused solely by surface heating.
