thermal loop
A thermal loop is a movement of air driven by warm air rising at one end of the loop, and cool air descending at the other end, creating a constantly moving loop of air. They can be used to precisely control the temperature of a specific area.{{Cite web |last=Bartell |first=Patrick |date=2021-07-22 |title=All About the Thermal Loop |url=https://www.powerblanket.com/blog/all-about-the-thermal-loop/ |access-date=2024-02-22 |website=Powerblanket |language=en-US}} Thermal loops also occur in liquids.
Thermal loops are size-independent; that is to say, they may occur in a space as small as a room or as large as a global hemisphere. The Hadley cell is an example of a global-scale thermal loop.
