atmospheric models
1Atmospheric models — Static atmospheric models describe how the ideal gas properties (namely: pressure, temperature, density, and molecular weight) of an atmosphere change, primarily as a function of altitude. For example, the US Standard Atmosphere is essentially a… …
2Upper Atmospheric Models — Most climate models simulate a region of the Earth s atmosphere from the surface to the stratopause. There also exist numerical models which simulate the wind, temperature and composition of the Earth s tenuous upper atmosphere, from the… …
3Atmospheric model — A 96 hour forecast of 850 mbar geopotential height and temperature from the Global Forecast System An atmospheric model is a mathematical model constructed around the full set of primitive dynamical equations which govern atmospheric motions. It… …
4Atmospheric chemistry — is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth s atmosphere and that of other planets is studied. It is a multidisciplinary field of research and draws on environmental chemistry, physics, meteorology, computer modeling,… …
5Atmospheric reentry — refers to the movement of human made or natural objects as they enter the atmosphere of a planet from outer space, in the case of Earth from an altitude above the edge of space. This article primarily addresses the process of controlled reentry… …
6Atmospheric sciences — is an umbrella term for the study of the atmosphere, its processes, the effects other systems have on the atmosphere, and the effects of the atmosphere on these other systems. Meteorology includes atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics… …
7Atmospheric physics — is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere. Atmospheric physicists attempt to model Earth s atmosphere and the atmospheres of the other planets using fluid flow equations, chemical models, radiation balancing, and energy… …
8Atmospheric electricity — is the regular diurnal variations of the Earth s atmospheric electromagnetic network (or, more broadly, any planet s electrical system in its layer of gases). The Earth’s surface, the ionosphere, and the atmosphere is known as the global… …
9Atmospheric tide — Atmospheric tides are global scale periodic oscillations of the atmosphere. In many ways they are analogous to ocean tides. Atmospheric tides can be excited by:*The regular day/night cycle in the insolation of the atmosphere *The gravitational… …
10Atmospheric correction — is the process of removing the effects of the atmosphere on the reflectance values of images taken by satellite or airborne sensors. [cite web |url=http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/research/GC/atmo/index.html |title=Atmospheric Correction… …
