61Atmospheric convection — Conditions favorable for thunderstorm types and complexes Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to… …
62Sea surface temperature — Weekly average sea surface temperature for the World Ocean during the first week of February 2011, during a period of La Niña …
63List of nonlinear partial differential equations — In mathematics and physics, nonlinear partial differential equations are (as their name suggests) partial differential equations with nonlinear terms. They describe many different physical systems, ranging from gravitation to fluid dynamics, and… …

65Drag coefficient — In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: cd, cx or cw) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment such as air or water. It is used in the drag equation,… …
66Flux footprint — (aka atmospheric flux footprint, footprint) is an upwind area where the atmospheric flux measured by an instrument is generated. Specifically, the term flux footprint describes an upwind area “seen” by the instruments measuring vertical turbulent …
67Narrow escape problem — The narrow escape problem is an ubiquitous problem in biology, biophysics and cellular biology. The formulation is the following: a Brownian particle (ion, molecule, or protein) is confined to a bounded domain (a compartment or a cell) by a… …
68Sediment Profile Imagery — (SPI) is an underwater technique for photographing the interface between the seabed and the overlying water. The technique is used to measure or estimate biological, chemical, and physical processes occurring in the first few centimetres of… …
69Large eddy simulation — (LES) is a numerical technique used to solve the partial differential equations governing turbulent fluid flow.It was formulated in the late 1960s and became popular in the later years.It was first used by Joseph Smagorinsky to simulate… …
70Aerodynamics — is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Aerodynamics is closely related to fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them. Aerodynamics is… …
