A localized disturbance grows along some moving rays but decays at its original fixed location. This wave-packet meaning differs from buoyancy-driven stellar convection and is therefore given a distinct canonical title. Changing the observation frame can change the absolute/convective classification. The Briggs-Bers criterion uses the laboratory-frame impulse response to distinguish this case from absolute wave-packet instability.
