Double diffusive convection — is an important fluid dynamics topic that describes a form of convection driven by two different density gradients which have different rates of diffusion.[1] Convection in fluids is driven by density variation within them. These density… … Wikipedia
Baroclinity — In fluid dynamics, the baroclinity (sometimes called baroclinicity) is a measure of the stratification in a fluid. A baroclinic atmosphere is one for which the density depends on both the temperature and the pressure; contrast this with… … Wikipedia
Mixed layer — The oceanic or limnological mixed layer is a layer in which active turbulence has homogenized some range of depths. The surface mixed layer is a layer where this turbulence is generated by winds, cooling, or processes such as evaporation or sea… … Wikipedia
Thermohaline circulation — A summary of the path of the thermohaline circulation/ Great Ocean Conveyor. Blue paths represent deep water currents, while red paths represent surface currents The term thermohaline circulation (THC) refers to a part of the large scale ocean… … Wikipedia
thunderstorm — /thun deuhr stawrm /, n. a transient storm of lightning and thunder, usually with rain and gusty winds, sometimes with hail or snow, produced by cumulonimbus clouds. Also called electrical storm. [1645 55; THUNDER + STORM] * * * Violent, short… … Universalium
Atmospheric wave — An atmospheric wave is a periodic disturbance in the fields of atmospheric variables (like surface pressure or geopotential height, temperature, or wind velocity) which may either propagate ( traveling wave ) or not ( stationary wave ).… … Wikipedia
Monin-Obukhov Length — The Monin Obukhov Length is the height above ground, where mechanically produced (by vertical shear) turbulence is in balance with the dissipative effect of negative buoyancy, thus where Richardson number equals to 1:L = frac{u^3 *ar heta… … Wikipedia
Balanced flow — In atmospheric science, balanced flow is an idealisation of atmospheric motion. The idealisation consists in considering the behaviour of one isolated parcel of air having constant density, its motion on a horizontal plane subject to selected… … Wikipedia
