Meteorologists and oceanographers use the verb for transport by the bulk movement of a fluid, particularly sideways, as when a warm wind brings humid air over a cold coast and produces fog. It differs from convection, which usually describes vertical movement driven by heating. The noun is advection, and the term appears in weather forecasting and climate models.
