Positive vorticity advection refers to the process in meteorology where air with higher vorticity (a measure of the local rotation in the flow of air) is transported into a region with lower vorticity. Vorticity is associated with the circulation of air, and positive vorticity is when there is a counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere (and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, due to the Coriolis effect).
