condensation level
1condensation level — The height at which a rising parcel of air would become saturated if it were lifted adiabatically (i.e., without heat being given or taken out from the parcel of air) …
2Lifted condensation level — The lifted condensation level or lifting condensation level (LCL), represents the height at which an air parcel being lifted dry adiabatically will become saturated because of adiabatic cooling (caused by expansion) and condense into cloud. It… …
3Convective condensation level — The convective condensation level (CCL) represents the height where an air parcel becomes saturated when lifted adiabatically to achieve buoyant ascent. It marks where cloud base begins when air is heated from below to the convective temperature …
4convective condensation level — The lowest level at which condensation will occur as a result of convection from surface heating …
5lifting condensation level — The level at which a parcel of unsaturated dry air lifted dry adiabatically becomes saturated. See also dry adiabatic lapse rate and adiabatic …
6Level of free convection — The level of free convection (LFC) is the altitude in the atmosphere where the temperature of the environment decreases faster than the moist adiabatic lapse rate of a saturated air parcel at the same level.The usual way of finding the LFC is to… …
7Condensation lemma — In set theory, a branch of mathematics, the condensation lemma is a result about sets in the constructible universe. It states that if Lα is a level of the constructible hierarchy, X is an elementary submodel of the model then is isomorphic to… …
8Cloud condensation nuclei — Aerosol pollution over Northern India and Bangladesh NASA Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs (also known as cloud seeds) are small particles typically 0.2 µm, or 1/100 th the size of a cloud droplet [1]) about which cloud droplets coalesce. Water… …
9Maximum parcel level — The maximum parcel level (MPL) is the highest level in the atmosphere that a moist convectively rising air parcel will reach after ascending through the free convective layer (FCL) and reaching the equilibrium level (EL), near the tropopause. As… …
10Wealth condensation — is a theoretical process by which, in certain conditions, newly created wealth tends to become concentrated in the possession of already wealthy individuals or entities. According to this theory, those who already hold wealth have the means to… …
