1Equivalent potential temperature — Equivalent potential temperature, commonly referred to as Theta e left( heta e ight), is a quantity related to the stability of a column of air in the atmosphere. heta e is the temperature a parcel of air would reach if all the water vapor in the …
2Convective available potential energy — A skew T plot showing a morning sounding with a large hydrolapse followed by an afternoon sounding showing the cooling which occurred in the mid levels resulting in an unstable atmosphere as surface parcels have now become negatively buoyant. The …
3Capital Saturation — An economic state in which real income is high and is expected to continue to rise, causing the general public, corporations and even public entities to focus on consumption rather than savings. Capital saturation is usually associated with low… …
4Wet-bulb potential temperature — Wet bulb potential temperature, sometimes referred to as pseudo wet bulb potential temperature, is the temperature attained by mass of air brought adiabatically to saturation and then carried along moist adiabat to 1000 mb (hPa). This temperature …
